How snowy will this winter be in Chicago? Here's what the Farmers' Almanac says
Дата публикации: 14-09-2026 15:46:45



Summer has wrapped up, and with meteorological fall beginning Sept. 1, it’s now officially the time of colorful leaves, apple cider and pumpkin spice.
Autumn will be around for a while, but winter falls next on the calendar. While some people eagerly look ahead to the coldest months of the year, others simply hope there was a way to avoid them altogether.
Regardless of where you stand, it’s coming eventually, and with a few months still to go, the Farmers’ Almanac is providing a glimpse at how the season might impact the United States – including the Midwest.
The publication, which has provided forecasts since the early 1800s, said it relies on a time-tested method that considers recurring natural cycles, solar activity, lunar influences, and historical weather patterns in connection with modern forecasting tools to provide a broad, long-range regional outlook designed to help readers plan ahead.
Overall, the Farmers’ Almanac 2026-2027 Winter Weather Forecast is expected to deliver sharp contrasts across the country, with some regions potentially facing repeated storms and heavy snow while others experience milder stretches interrupted by quick cold snaps, according to its website.
Temperatures are expected to average near normal overall across the Chicago area, as well as much of the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, Northern Plains and Western U.S.
Near-normal temperatures may point to a milder winter, but the outlook suggests differently.
The forecast calls for cold, snowy periods with the potential for sudden snow squalls, blustery winds and bursts of bitter cold. Residents could encounter rapidly changing road and field conditions, as frequent swings between thawing and freezing lead to hazardous travel.
El Niño is expected to play a significant role this winter, contributing to a mild start to the season. Despite a warmer trend overall, the cold snap risk will remain.
When it comes to precipitation, totals are expected to be near normal, though lake-effect snow bursts will likely occur in the Great Lakes snowbelt.
While snow will undoubtedly be a part of the winter forecast, the question many are likely wondering is simple: how much will we actually see?
Moderate snowfall is expected overall, according to the latest outlook.
Chicago could see greater snowfall totals than other areas, with lake-effect regions likely experiencing above average snowfall. Near-normal snowfall amounts are expected in interior areas.
