The winter of 2007- 2008 went on record as the snowiest of the century when 12.4 inches of snow fell from 6 am on Good Friday, March 21 until Saturday at 4 am. It’s the second highest total in Milwaukee with 96.9” – just behind the top spot of 109.8” in 1885-86.
All of the previous snow had just melted down when the city got socked again on the second day of Spring. If this keeps up, number one is just around the corner!
