Farmers' Almanac Reveals Snowiest Month in Every U.S. State for 2026
The Farmers' Almanac uses NOAA data to map out the snowiest month in each U.S. state for 2026, with January emerging as the snowiest month for most regions.
Snowiest Month Predictions
The Farmers' Almanac has released its forecast for the snowiest month in every U.S. state for 2026. Utilizing official NOAA climate data from 1991 to 2020, the almanac compared snowfall patterns to identify the peak winter weather months, from January storms to March dumps.
According to the almanac, January is the snowiest month for most of the United States. This includes states from Maine to Washington, as well as numerous Midwestern, Great Lakes, New England, and Southern states. However, specific states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont are noted to have variations in their snowiest months.
Impact of Super El Niño
The forecast for 2026 is heavily influenced by the ongoing Super El Niño event, which NOAA predicts will persist through March 2027. This event could significantly impact the amount of snow in each state's peak snowy month, depending on the jet stream's path and the specific weather patterns it steers in.
For example, while the southern and central United States are expected to receive more snow, the northern U.S., southern Canada, and most of Europe may experience less snow. The exact amounts vary widely and are contingent on the unpredictable nature of the jet stream.
