...what the highest total snowfall recorded for Omro is? While there is no single "all-time" total snowfall record officially published for the city of Omro alone, current data and nearby records from Winnebago County state the highest total was 13 inches, which occurred on December 13, 1909.

For comparison, the most extreme snowfall records for the state of Wisconsin include, highest 24-Hour Snowfall was 26 inches, shared by Neillsville (1904), Upson (2006), and Pell Lake (2011).

Winnebago County, Wisconsin, receives an average annual snowfall ranging between approximately 36 to 50 inches. The snowy season lasts about five months, from November to April, with January usually being the snowiest month. Lake Winnebago influences local weather, contributing to this typical central/northeast Wisconsin average.
