The heavy snowfall turned a late March storm into a significant event, causing power outages and numerous hazards that led to the cancellation of various events. Originally, the hopes for the arrival of spring in Wisconsin this weekend were to bring smaller amounts of snow, but instead, the state was buried under inches of snow.
As the effects of this system linger, some areas in the state are beginning to move out to the National Weather Service, with snow accumulation totals according to the forecast.
How much snow fell in the Milwaukee area?
During the height of the storm, the Milwaukee authorities verified that there were 58 service requests related to the weather, with 1,500 of them specifically in Milwaukee. Additionally, as the heavy snowfall accumulated in Southeast Wisconsin, approximately 7,500 customers of We Energies experienced power outages.
The snow also led to the cancellation of the 2023 Milwaukee Marathon as snowy conditions proved to be too much for organizers.

After a slightly above average winter, Madison experienced a snow storm that saw over ten inches of snow, continuing the trend seen at the start of spring.
