Roadways Slippery and Snow Covered...Use Caution When Driving!

The snow started falling around 4:45 AM this morning in Sturgeon Bay. The roadways are rapidly becoming snow covered and slippery. Due to the temperature being a few degrees above freezing the snow will accumulate much faster on the roadways due to the heaviness of the snow.  For your morning commute to work and school expect  reduced visibilities and overall hazardous travel conditions.  About 4 to 7 inches of snow is predicted to fall in Door County.  Please give yourself extra time when driving today and drive safely.

SBPD Police Investigate Possible Gunshot To Residence

Sturgeon Bay Police Officers were dispatched to the 400 block of North 5th Avenue for a possible gunshot to a residence. Upon arriving Officers found a small diameter hole consistent with a small caliber round going through a metal shovel, which had been propped up against the residence. The homeowner believes the incident occurred sometime within the last week or so. The Sturgeon Bay Police Department are reminding citizens it is extremely dangerous and also illegal to shoot any type of weapon within the City limits. Sturgeon Bay Police are asking residents to contact the Police Department if they see anything suspicious going on in their neighborhoods.
