Winter 25-26 Season Snowfall

Winter 2025-2026 is finally completed and in the rear view mirror. Cold, snowy, stormy, are all adjectives that can be used to describe this past brutal winter here in the Northeast. Something we haven't experienced in several years, at least since 2020-2021. Across the board we've seen above average snowfall for all of the record keeping sites and in some cases well above normal. Meteorological winter (Dec 1-Feb 28) also had below normal temperatures for all of the sites from Newark to Boston. Let's take a look at some of the average temperatures for this winter (Dec-Feb) across the area.
