Some U.S. Cities Will See Snowiest Month Outside Winter
US · Published Jan 12, 2026
Many U.S. cities see peak snowfall outside of December-February.
Northern Plains, High Plains, and Rockies often have snowiest months in March.
Some regions, including parts of Alaska, experience peak snow as early as October or as late as April.
Snowiest months vary across US locations
Across the United States, while most cities experience their snowiest months during the traditional winter period from December to February, a significant number defy this pattern. Climatologists, after analyzing data from thousands of weather stations, have observed that certain locations record their highest snowfall in March. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in the northern and High Plains, as well as the Rockies, where late-season snowstorms can dramatically increase monthly totals.
