The Weather Channel believes a weak La Niña will stick around into early 2026. This typically means a mix of warmer stretches, quick cold snaps, and a snow season that’s tough to predict.

According to meteorologists, November is expected to start warmer than usual, with the East Coast experiencing milder days than frigid ones.
But as winter rolls on, expect some cold punches and a few snow chances, especially upstate and in the higher elevations.
In terms of the precipitation outlook from November through January, The Weather Channel says New York should see just “above” average precipitation.
Don’t pack away your shovels and coats. Even a mild La Niña winter can throw a few surprises, and one nor’easter could change everything.
