How much snow fell in Madison and other parts of Wisconsin?

Most areas recorded 9 to 12 inches from the storm, although drifting made it seem like much more in some areas.

Other unofficial reports included 10.5 inches in Waunakee and Monona, and a foot in McFarland. Areas to the south and east of Madison recorded slightly more snow, from 12.9 inches in Edgerton to 13 inches in Elkhorn and 14.4 inches in Sullivan.

The hardest hit area of the state was just west of Milwaukee, where there was a swath of 14 to 18 inches of snow, while much less snow fell in northwest Wisconsin.

The highest reports to the Weather Service were 18 inches in Suamico, a Green Bay suburb, and near West Bend, west of Milwaukee.

The totals don’t include the snow that piled up from earlier in the week. 

Officially, Madison started the week with 9.9 inches for the snow season (since July 1) and ended with 28.4 inches, according to the Weather Service.

The airport recorded a trace of snow on Monday, 5.7 inches on Tuesday, 1.1 inches on Wednesday, 1.2 inches on Thursday, 8.6 inches on Friday, and 1.9 inches on Saturday.
