These Are The 10 Snowiest Cities In Wisconsin

It’s the dead of winter, and the time of year when the ground is frozen, the air is bone chilling, and there are piles of dirty, nasty ice encrusted snow all over the place. Sure, a Saturday morning right after a foot of fluffy snow is the best thing ever.
But for the most part, this is about the time of year when we’re just about ready for Spring.
So, put on your parkas, snow boots and your gloves and let’s go outside to see which Wisconsin cities get dumped on the most every year. After analyzing all cities with a decent amount of people in them, we came up with this list as The 10 Snowiest Cities In Wisconsin:

1. Rhinelander
2. Ashland
3. Wausau
4. Weston
5. Rothschild
6. Kronenwetter
7. Rib Mountain
8. Antigo
9. Marinette
10. Plymouth

Read on below to see where your town ranked, you snow angels. If you’re curious, Oregon, McFarland and Fitchburg all get the least amount of snow every year, on average, in Wisconsin. They all get 22 inches apiece. And that’s the lowest? Wow.
