According to AccuWeather forecasts issued this week, New York City is expected to receive 17 to 21 inches of snow during the 2025–2026 winter season. Compared to the less than 13 inches that fell last winter, the outlook indicates a rise.

In contrast, there is a greater chance of heavier-than-normal precipitation in other regions of the nation, such the Upper Midwest and the Pacific Northwest. For this time of year, temperatures should be quite typical.

Between 17 and 21 inches of snow are expected to fall on New York City this winter, according to AccuWeather. This is more than the 12.9-inch total from previous winter, but less than the historical average of 29.8 inches. The snowfall is predicted to be notable in comparison to previous year, even though it might not reach record levels.

According to the Northeast Regional Climate Center, in past years, the first detectable snowfall in the Northeast has fallen as early as late September in parts of Vermont and Maine and within the first week of November in parts of New York.

Forecasters estimate that Buffalo will receive far greater totals, with the western New York region receiving 90 to 100 inches of snow. According to AccuWeather, despite the rise, New York City’s total snowfall is predicted to fall well short of the city’s winter normal of 29.8 inches.

According to Paul Pastelok, AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist, snow could arrive in the area as early as December due to storm systems from western Canada. “In December, we think there’s going to be some [storm] systems coming out of western Canada and diving into the middle of the country, then coming along the mid-Atlantic coast,” Pastelok stated.

According to the weatherman, these storms might hit “just before the holidays.” Storms may proceed from the central and western regions of the United States to the East Coast, bringing with them substantial snow accumulation, even though this year’s weather patterns have been almost the same as those of last year.
