"The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its 2025-2026 Winter Forecast, describing the upcoming season as "Mostly mild-with pockets of wild." Editor Carol Connare notes that "most areas will experience near-normal to slightly milder temperatures," though a few regions may still see bursts of winter chill. For New Hampshire homeowners, that means a lighter season overall-warmer, drier, and easier to navigate than the long, snowy winters the Granite State is famous for."
"Precipitation is expected to be below normal, and snowfall will also come in lighter than usual. The snowiest stretches are projected for mid-November, early and mid-December, and early February. That means homeowners across the state-from the Seacoast to the White Mountains-can expect fewer major storms and less time spent shoveling. It's a good year for travelers and commuters, though skiers and snowmobilers may see a shorter season."
Most areas will experience near-normal to slightly milder temperatures, with occasional short cold spells. Above-normal temperatures are expected in the Northeast this winter, with the coldest stretches in December and early January. Precipitation will be below normal and snowfall lighter than usual, with snowiest periods in mid-November, early and mid-December, and early February. Homeowners across New Hampshire can expect fewer major storms, less shoveling, easier travel, and a shorter season for skiing and snowmobiling. November is an ideal time for home winterization, including testing and replacing smoke-detector batteries and completing an autumn safety checklist to improve comfort, efficiency, and safety.
