Milwaukee, WI – With November 2026 approaching, Milwaukee residents have a reminder of how quickly late fall weather can turn wintry. Last November brought 9 inches of snowfall, including a record setting late month event that left accumulating snow across the city.

Late November Snowfall Changed Conditions Quickly Snowfall became particularly notable during the final days of November.
