The Farmers’ Almanac predicts a cold, snowy 2025–2026 winter, starting early and lingering into April for areas like New England, the Great Lakes, and the Northern Plains. A possible La Niña could bring snow and cold to the Northwest, dryness to the South, and warmth to the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Highlights include storms in late January for the Northeast, a major February blizzard for the Great Lakes, heavy mountain snow in the Northwest, and cold, wet conditions for the North Central and South Central states, while the Southwest stays mild with some late-January rain.
