Key Points:
- A storm developing into a nor'easter is expected to bring the first measurable snow of the season to parts of the U.S. East Coast this week.
- The timing of the first snowfall varies widely across the U.S., with mountainous and northern regions typically seeing snow as early as August or September, while southern areas may not see snow until December or January, if at all.
- An interactive tool using NOAA data allows users to explore the earliest recorded first snowfall dates in their area, though trace amounts of snow prior to those dates are not counted.
- The ongoing strong El Niño event in the Pacific Ocean is predicted to influence winter weather, likely causing warmer conditions in the northern U.S. and increased storminess, rain, and snow in southern states.
