When Is the First Snow in 2026? Dates for 296 U.S. Cities

The first measurable snow of the winter, 0.1 inch or more in a day, usually reaches the northern Rockies and Plains in October, the upper Midwest and the Great Lakes in November and the big cities of the East in December. In our count of NOAA’s daily station records through ACIS, half of the winters from 1991–92 to 2020–21 had brought it by October 12 in Denver, November 7 in Minneapolis and Buffalo, November 16 in Chicago, December 1 in Boston, December 9 in New York and December 19 in Washington, D.C.

This year’s first snowfall forecast starts from a late fall. Of the 28 cities on our map where the first snow usually comes by the end of October, only 8 had reported it by October 30 (ACIS). Denver, whose average date is October 19, was still waiting (NWS Boulder).

In its updated outlook of October 31, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center still favors a warmer than normal November across the northern U.S., most strongly in the Northern Plains and the Upper Mississippi Valley (CPC). Its forecasters also flag a possible disruption of the polar vortex next week, which would be very rare in November and could bring cooler spells (CPC). Odds like these tilt a week or a month; they do not rule out a cold day.

Where is snow in the forecast right now?

The closest thing to a first snowfall forecast is the National Weather Service’s own, a few days out. The list adds up the snow in its hour-by-hour forecast for each of our 296 cities over the next three days, the same forecast our calculator reads, and is worked out again every half hour. A city appears once its forecast holds 0.1 inch or more.

How far ahead can snow be forecast? NOAA says snow forecasts “are generally not predictable more than a week in advance” (NOAA). What exists weeks ahead are outlooks: the odds of a warmer or colder, wetter or drier stretch than normal. They come further down this page.

When does the first snow usually fall?

The first measurable snowfall is the first day of the winter with 0.1 inch of snow or more at a weather station, as the Weather Service counts it (NWS Buffalo). Flakes that melt, or fall too lightly to measure, are only a trace and do not count. Buffalo shows the gap: its first flake comes on October 24 on average, its first measurable snow on November 8 and its first inch on November 18 (NWS Buffalo).

The map below stands a column on each city. Its height is how often, in the 30 winters from 1991–92 to 2020–21, the first measurable snow had come by the date you pick. Move the slider through the dates from October 1 to January 31 and watch the first snow spread south.

Oct 1Jan 31

By November 30, at least half of winters had brought measurable snow to 115 of the 281 cities with complete enough records.

In our count of those records (ACIS), at least half of the winters had brought measurable snow by October 31 to 28 cities, nearly all in Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and the Dakotas. By November 15 the count reaches 80, with Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Buffalo and Milwaukee; by Thanksgiving it is 105, and by Christmas, 201.

December is the big month. In 94 of the cities the first snow usually comes then, among them Boston, St. Louis, Kansas City, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington and Nashville. Another 31 usually wait until January or later, including Memphis, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta and Dallas. In 41, from Phoenix and Los Angeles to Houston, New Orleans and every Florida city on our map, most winters bring no measurable snow at all.

Height counts as well as latitude. Denver, a mile up, usually has its first snow by October 12 in our count, nearly four weeks before Minneapolis, far to its north. Our dates sit close to the Weather Service’s own: Chicago’s normal first measurable snow is November 18 (NWS Chicago), two days after ours, and the Twin Cities’ average is November 4 (NWS Twin Cities), three days before ours. Denver’s page, whose records go back to 1882, gives October 19 as the average (NWS Boulder), a week later than the 1991–2020 date at the station we read there.

When will it first snow where you live?

Pick your state and city: the card shows when its first snow usually comes, how the odds build up to Christmas, this winter so far and the next three days of the National Weather Service forecast.

Think of the card as a first snowfall forecast from history, and read its dates as odds, not a schedule. In Chicago, the first measurable snow had come by Thanksgiving in 68% of the winters counted, so in about 1 in 3 it came later (ACIS). For most big cities the record is the long one the Weather Service keeps for the city, often at its main airport.

One usual date hides how much the first snow wanders from winter to winter. In the strips below, each dot is one winter’s first snow. Pick up to three cities to set them side by side.

What does NOAA’s November 2026 outlook say?

It still leans toward a warm November up north. The Climate Prediction Center’s updated outlook, issued October 31, keeps enhanced odds of above-normal temperatures across the northern U.S. and along both coasts, raises them to 50 to 60% across the northern tier and spreads them further south, over more of the Southeast. The best odds, 60 to 70%, are over the Northern Plains and the Upper Mississippi Valley (CPC’s updated November discussion). Its first outlook, issued October 15, pointed the same way (CPC’s November discussion).

For precipitation, the update made bigger changes. It raised the odds of a wetter than normal November to 60% in the Southwest and to 50% across the north-central states, where a little rain or snow early in the month goes a long way in a dry month, and lowered them for the Southeast and East Coast, where early November looks dry (CPC). The discussion still names El Niño as the main influence (CPC).

The update also carries a warning. Computer models show a possible disruption of the stratospheric polar vortex next week, and perhaps a sudden stratospheric warming. NOAA’s forecasters call one in November “very rare,” and write that its effects can last up to 2 months, usually as a negative Arctic Oscillation, which could mean cooler periods; it adds uncertainty most of all in the eastern U.S. (CPC).

The shorter outlooks, issued October 31, point the same way for now. For November 6 to 10, above-normal temperatures are favored across all 50 states, with odds rising from about 40% in the south-central states to more than 80% in the northernmost Great Plains. For November 8 to 14, warmth is favored across most of the lower 48 except parts of the Southeast, where near or below normal temperatures are favored, with a drier than normal week from the northern Great Plains through the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys to the Great Lakes. The Center rated its confidence in both as about average, 3 out of 5 (CPC 6–10 and 8–14 day outlooks).

What does that mean for a first snowfall forecast? By our reading, warmer and drier than normal leans against an early first snow in the north, and the polar vortex is a wild card for later in the month. But these are odds for a week’s or a month’s average temperature and total precipitation, and they are not snow forecasts: NOAA’s seasonal outlook does not project snowfall (NOAA). A cold few days inside a warm month can still bring the first snow.

Does a strong El Niño mean a late first snow?

Not by itself, going by the record. The Climate Prediction Center has an El Niño Advisory in force, and on October 8 it called a strong to very strong El Niño likely through January to March 2027 (ENSO discussion). Its October odds give a very strong event, with its index at 2.0°C or more, an 81% chance for December to February (ENSO strength odds). NOAA’s winter outlook expects it to shift the jet stream south and east, with a warmer northern U.S. and a wetter South (NOAA).

So we looked at the winters it has happened before. From 1991–92 to 2020–21, the Center’s index reached 2.0°C or more in three: 1991–92, 1997–98 and 2015–16 (CPC’s El Niño table). In the 134 cities on our map whose records cover all 30 winters and that had measurable snow in at least half of them, the first snow came early in most of them in 1991–92 and 1997–98, and late in most of them in 2015–16 (ACIS).

The first snow in the very strong El Niño winters, 134 cities

1. 1991–92 The middle city: 5.5 days early

   91 earlier10 on the usual date33 later, of 134 cities

2. 1997–98 The middle city: 12 days early

   84 earlier15 on the usual date35 later, of 134 cities

3. 2015–16 The middle city: 19.5 days late

   20 earlier8 on the usual date106 later, of 134 cities

Three winters cannot make a rule, and these point in opposite directions. The Center itself says an El Niño’s strength “does not necessarily correspond with the strength of the influence” (ENSO strength odds). A strong El Niño tilts a season’s averages. The first snow comes down to one cold day with enough moisture.

Has it already snowed this season?

Only in a few places. The tiles are the 28 cities on our map where the first snow usually comes by October 31, earliest first, and where each stood in NOAA’s daily reports, which are preliminary (ACIS). The most so far fell at Great Falls, Montana: 6.4 inches on October 10.

No other city on our map had reported measurable snow.

Denver has waited this long before: its latest first snow on record came on December 10, 2021, and the second latest last winter, on November 29, 2025 (NWS Boulder).

When do the big cities usually see their first snow?

The calendar sets twelve big cities on one strip, from Denver to Atlanta. The mark is the date by which half of the winters had brought measurable snow. The bar covers the middle half of winters, so a long bar means a city whose first snow comes at very different times from year to year.

The first city and the last are nearly four months apart: Denver’s usual date, October 12, comes 16 weeks before Atlanta’s, February 1, and in 10 of the 30 winters Atlanta had no measurable snow at all (ACIS). The South also wanders most. Nashville’s middle half runs from December 5 to January 20 and Washington’s from December 5 to January 16, while Minneapolis’s runs only from October 27 to November 15.

Will the first snow close schools?

By our rule of thumb, rarely in the North and sometimes in the South. The first measurable snow is often light. In our count, half of the winters had brought a day with an inch or more by November 22 in Minneapolis and by December 4 in Chicago, two to three weeks after their usual first snow (ACIS). By our rule of thumb, it takes around 8 inches in Minneapolis and 6.5 in Chicago to close schools about half the time.

In the South a little goes further. Atlanta’s usual closing point by the same rule is about half an inch, so a first snow that would barely whiten a Chicago lawn can be enough there (how much snow closes school). Ice counts at even smaller amounts, and timing matters: in our calculator, snow that falls overnight or while the buses run counts most.

Whatever falls, only your school district decides, so check its website, app or local TV and radio. For the next school day, the calculator gives the chance of a snow day or a late start at your ZIP code from the same Weather Service forecast as the list above.

Questions people ask

When is the first snow in 2026?

It depends on where you live. In our count of NOAA records, half of past winters had brought the first measurable snow by November 7 in Minneapolis, November 16 in Chicago and December 9 in New York (ACIS). This fall has started late, and the finder above has 296 cities.

Will it snow in November 2026?

Somewhere, almost certainly, but the odds lean warm. In at least half of the winters from 1991–92 to 2020–21, 115 of the 281 cities on our map with complete enough records had had their first measurable snow by November 30 (ACIS). This year NOAA’s updated outlook of October 31 favors a warmer than normal November across the north, though its forecasters flag a possible polar vortex disruption that could bring cooler spells (CPC). By our reading, that leans against an early start but does not rule out a cold snap with snow.

When does it first snow in Denver, Chicago and New York?

Denver’s average first measurable snow is October 19 (NWS Boulder) and Chicago’s normal date is November 18 (NWS Chicago). In New York’s Central Park, half of the winters from 1991–92 to 2020–21 had had it by December 9, in our count (ACIS).

What counts as the first snowfall?

The first day with 0.1 inch of snow or more at the station, which weather records call measurable snow. Flakes that melt or measure less are a trace and do not count, so a city can see snow in the air weeks before its first snowfall goes on the books. In Buffalo the average gap is about two weeks (NWS Buffalo).

How accurate is a first snowfall forecast?

Snow amounts are forecast only days ahead: the list above reads the first three days of the Weather Service’s forecast, and its amounts can change as a storm’s track shifts. NOAA says snow generally cannot be predicted more than a week ahead (NOAA). Monthly outlooks only tilt the odds of a warmer or wetter month, and the Climate Prediction Center scores them against chance: 0 means no better than a guess, 100 a perfect forecast (CPC verification).

Does El Niño mean less snow?

Not reliably for the first snow. In the three winters from 1991–92 to 2020–21 when El Niño reached the very strong level NOAA thinks likely this winter, the first snow came earlier than usual in most of our cities twice and later once (CPC’s El Niño table, ACIS). NOAA’s outlook for December to February favors a warmer than average northern U.S. and a wetter South, but it does not forecast snowfall (NOAA).

Every city’s first snow

The table has all 296 cities on our map, state by state: the date by which half of the winters had brought measurable snow, the share of winters with it by November 30, the date for the first inch, the record’s average snow a winter beside the city’s normal, and the station the figures come from. A CSV file of it is linked under the table.

When the first measurable snow of the winter (0.1 inch or more in a day) came in 296 U.S. cities (the six largest in each state, Honolulu only in Hawaii, and Washington, D.C.) in the winters of 1991–92 to 2020–21: the date by which half of the winters had brought it, the share of winters with it by November 30, and the date by which half had brought a day with an inch or more, with the record's average snowfall a winter beside the city's normal snowfall, from a NOAA daily station record within 35 miles of each city; for 15 of them the records are too incomplete to say.
