All of that snow in 2019 was a good thing.
Tourism leaders in Eau Claire yesterday said the city saw a bump in visitors last year, mostly thanks to the snow. Visit Eau Claire’s Jason Krueger says some parts of Wisconsin didn’t have enough snow, so a lot of people came to Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley to ski, sled, or snowmobile. Krueger is not saying just how many more visitors the city saw because of its abundance of snow.
