Listen to the story

Weather experts have made new maps for winter 2026/2027. The maps show snowfall for many places. They cover the United States, Canada, and Europe. People can look at their own state or region.

The maps show which states will be the coldest. They also show when real winter weather might start. This is called a long-range forecast. It looks far into the future, not just next week.

A long-range forecast is not always exact. But it gives a good idea of what winter could look like. People use it to plan for cold weather and snow.

Many people want to know about winter early. Farmers, drivers, and families all care about snow and cold. The new snowfall explorer helps them see this information easily.

Experts will update the maps again later. Weather can change, so new information helps make the forecast better. People should check back for updates before winter starts.
