Hi Paul,
I don't believe we have anything particular in our collection, but I do see a February 23, 1922 headline in the local newspaper: "Worst Storm Ever Known Here 3 Days Blizzard Rages." The Kaukauna Times isn't online (sadly), so I'll send a scan of the article your way for what it's worth.
I would be interested in seeing what you and others have, as this story is new to me. Could be a great statewide project.

Subject: Ice storm of 2-22-1922
HI all,
I am getting a presentation together on the great ice storm of February 22, 1922. (or more accurately Feb 21 - 23) We have some pictures of the damage here in Sauk County but I am wondering what other societies have in their holdings and if they would be willing to share. The storm was statewide although southeastern Wisconsin was reportedly spared. Elsewhere from 1 to 4 inches of ice accumulated during the storm and northern Wisconsin received heavy snow. I am happy to share research and our pictures.
Thanks,
