UNITED STATES — A new Euro model (ECMWF) snow projection is pointing to a meaningful two-week snow boost across the Western United States, with the strongest signal aimed at the Cascades and the Sierra Nevada. The map’s “total snow” output suggests a broad, active storm track that keeps feeding mountain snowfall through mid-to-late February, creating…

UNITED STATES — New snowfall departure data covering July 2025 through January 2026 reveals a sharply divided winter pattern across the Lower 48, with above-average snowfall concentrated in the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast, while large portions of the western United States and Plains remain locked in a significant snow drought. The imbalance is already…

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS — A new high-resolution HRRR weather model update is dramatically reshaping the Boston snow forecast, showing a much heavier snow scenario than earlier projections.
