2023-03-09 to 2023-03-10 · Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Event narrative

Multiple measurements of 4 to nearly 8 inches of snow across the county.

Wider weather episode

A shortwave trough brought widespread snow across the region. Most locations generally saw 3 to 5 inches, but a few locations picked up over 6 inches in a 24 hour period. Impacts were minimal since much of the snow fell during the day and the treated roads remained wet. This was not a winter storm warning event, but we are including it in storm data since we did have a few counties in a Winter Storm Warning.

A few noteworthy snow amounts are:

7.5 inches near Altoona (in 24 hours).

6.6 inches just south of Eau Claire.

6.0 inches near Eau Claire.

5.0 inches near Chippewa Falls.

4.5 inches northwest of Pepin.

4.3 inches near Menomonie.

4.0 inches near Ellsworth.
