On the east side of Milwaukee, a blanket of snow covered the ground and cars on Monday morning. Milwaukee officials say Department of Public Works crews worked through the night Sunday into Monday morning to clear snow across the city. They say snow removal operations will continue throughout the day.

Milwaukee officials continue to urge residents to stay home if possible, as road conditions remain hazardous. They say if you do have to drive, allow extra time for travel and give plow trucks plenty of space to work.

Officials in Milwaukee say some crews that work to collect garbage have been reassigned to help with clearing the roads. They're asking residents to leave their carts at the collection point, and they say they will be collected as soon as conditions allow.
