Will It Snow Before Halloween In New York?

Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen several different predictions of what the winter will be like across New York.

Some predictions are calling for a milder than normal winter, while other predictions are calling for a couple of major snow storms that will dump several feet of snow before the end of winter.

EXTRA: WILL WARM LAKES LEAD TO MAJOR BLIZZARDS

Here is a look at some of the winter predictions for the upcoming winter here in New York.

OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC WINTER 2023-24 FORECAST

The Old Farmer's Almanac is calling for a much cooler winter this year compared to last year. The "El Nino" that has formed in the Pacific will bring a change in the weather across New York compared to last year.

There are indications that an El Niño (an unusually high-water temperature off the Pacific Coast of South America), will be brewing in the latter half of 2023, lasting into the winter of 2024. If we consider that alongside our tried-and-true forecast formula, it means that cold temperatures should prevail throughout the country and bring snow, sleet, and ice.

DIRECT WINTER FORECAST 2023-24

Direct Weather is also calling for a much cooler and snowier winter than last year here in New York. Check out this video that shows more precipitation and below-average temperature across New York State.

SNOWCHANCE WINTER FORECAST 2023-24

The website snowchance.com is calling for lots of snow from November all the way through April in Western New York. According to the site, there is a good chance of "Winter Storm" conditions in November before coming back down to more normal averages of snow in December and January.

Hopefully, the snow will be more spread out than the two monster snow storms that impacted parts of New York last winter.
