It may seem wrong to get excited about less than an inch of snow, but the less than an inch of snow that fell in Milwaukee on Sunday tied a record.

The record snowfall for Nov. 16 was set in 1895, when 0.8 inches fell, the National Weather Service reports, and the same amount of snow was measured Sunday at Mitchell International Airport.

If that's the only bad-weather record that gets broken this winter, Milwaukee should be in good shape.

A total of 1.5 inches fell in Milwaukee from Saturday night into Sunday morning, with much heavier snow reported in a narrow band from southern Rock County to Racine. Some parts of southern Wisconsin got as much as 5 inches of snow.

Of course, none of this compares to the storm that dumped several feet of snow on parts of northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan last week, with the Iron County community of Gile getting hit with 50 inches over several days.

The story in Milwaukee on Monday morning, however, is the temperature, which is clocking in at a bone-chilling 10 degrees. It isn't expected to rise higher than the teens Monday, and temperatures in the Milwaukee area are expected to remain well below normal for much of the week.

A slight warm-up could be on its way, with highs above freezing again by next weekend.

The region also is set for more light snow Tuesday into Wednesday, with an inch or two expected, according to the National Weather Service.
