This December is already the second snowiest on record in Milwaukee, the National Weather Service said today. So far, 30.1 inches of snow have fallen at Mitchell International Airport, but that is still well off the record 49.5 inches that fell in December 2000.
Three snowstorms are heading Milwaukee's way this week, but it's still too early to know whether they will produce enough accumulation to break the record. The forecast calls for 2 to 4 inches on Tuesday, 1 to 3 inches on Tuesday night and 4 to 8 inches on Wednesday. McMahon said a snowstorm also could hit the area on Friday, but it's too soon to tell how much might hit Milwaukee.
Here are the top three snowiest Decembers, compiled by the National Weather Service:
• 2000, 49.5 inches.
• 2008, 30.1 inches.
• 2007, 29.5 inches.

Yep, we got LOTS of snow in WA, too. Luckily, we aren't there right now! ;D
