1 of the warmest winters on record: Has Milwaukee seen its last snow of the season?

SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN -- The odds we see measurable snowfall from now until June 1 in Milwaukee is 98.8%. You might be thinking, no duh, this is Wisconsin. We can get snow almost year-round! You're not wrong, but diving into historical data, there's more to unpack here.

Chance of snow before June 1st for Milwaukee based on what we have on record

Based on 82 years of recorded data at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, there's only one year on record we didn't receive measurable snowfall after March, and that was 1945. That was back in the time of World War II.

The most snowfall we've ever received after March 1 is 30.8 inches in 1965 -- but on average, we receive 10.1 inches. It's safe to say we're going to see more snow after Wednesday, March 11.
