The 2023–24 North American winter refers to winter in North America as it is occurring across the continent from late 2023 to early 2024. The season began at the winter solstice, which occurred on December 21, 2023, and will end at the spring equinox on March 19, 2024.[1] Based on the meteorological definition, the first day of winter started on December 1 and the last day will be February 29.[2] However, winter storms may occur outside of these limits.

Seasonal forecasts

Temperature outlook
Precipitation outlook

On October 4, 2023, AccuWeather released their winter prediction. They called for a El Niño; their forecast called for the Southeastern United States and California to be wetter than average, some of which could form severe weather outbreaks. The Midwestern United States was predicted to have higher temperatures and drier conditions than average. AccuWeather notes that cities like Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh are expected to have more snowfall than last winter. The predictions for the West Coast were that storms will occur commonly in the winter.[3]

Events

Pre-Thanksgiving storm complex

A winter storm affected Northern New England shortly before U.S. Thanksgiving. Up to 6 in (15 cm) of snow fell in the state of Vermont, with New Hampshire and Maine also recording over 4 in (10 cm) of snow.[4] The snowstorm resulted in 53 car crashes in New Hampshire,[5] with one crash resulting in Interstate 93 shutting down near Littleton. Normal pre-Thanksgiving traffic was expected to be worsened due to the storm.[6] The storm also resulted in 55 flight cancellations.[7] Further south, heavy rain fell in the New York Metropolitan area, with some areas reporting over 3 in (76 mm).[8] Daily rainfall records were broken on November 22 in Islip, Bridgeport and LaGuardia Airport.[9] Flurries were reported as far south as in the mountains of New Jersey.

Late November winter storm

Category 0 "Nuisance" (RSI/NOAA: N/A)
 
DurationNovember 26–28, 2023
Maximum snow42.7 in (108 cm)
Fatalities1
DamageUnknown

A winter storm affected much of the Great Plains shortly after U.S. Thanksgiving. Three people were killed in fatal car crashes along Interstate 80 in Nebraska, where 14 crashes occurred and portions of the highway were shut down.[10] The state of Wyoming also responded to 125 car crashes within a 48-hour period.[11] Lander, Wyoming received their snowiest day since 1999 when 19 in (48 cm) of snow piled up.[12] The second snowiest November day was realized in Topeka and Wichita.[13] Further east, the city of Chicago recorded 1.8 in (4.6 cm) of snow on November 26.[14] Further east, lake effect snow fell around Lake Erie, which resulted in a fatal car crash in Pennsylvania, a 20-vehicle pileup near Cleveland and Ontario Highway 403 shutting down. The highest snowfall total was 42.7 in (108 cm) in Highmarket, New York.[15]

Christmas Day blizzard

DurationDecember 25–27, 2023
Lowest pressure1003 mb (29.62 inHg)
Maximum snow14.6 in (37 cm)
Fatalities1

On Christmas Day, an intensifying low pressure system developing into a blizzard struck the Upper Midwest, dropping more than 12–18 inches (30–46 cm) of snow. Spearfish, South Dakota recorded 14.6 inches (37 cm) of snow.[16] Whiteout conditions and strong gusty winds were reported in states like Nebraska and North and South Dakota due to the storm.[17] Blizzard warnings were issued for a large part of Nebraska and South Dakota as well as parts of northern Kansas. The system caused many accidents as a result, including jackknifed semis on eastbound Interstate 80 in Nebraska, forcing a portion of that road to close for several hours.[17] Significant closures also occurred on Interstate 90 in South Dakota and Interstate 70 in Colorado.[18][19] Around 3,000 flights within the U.S. were affected, with 170 being cancelled as a result[citation needed]. Badlands National Park was closed due to the blizzard. The storm also caused one fatality on icy roads in Kansas.[20]

A winter storm, that became a nor'easter, affected the Northeastern United States from January 6–7, 2024. Multiple locations in several states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut recorded 1 foot (30 cm) of snow. 13,000 customers also lost power in Massachusetts.[21] The storm also ended the longest stretch without measurable snow in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and the longest stretch without 1 in (2.5 cm) of snow in State College, Pennsylvania.[22] Portions of the Massachusetts Turnpike closed due to snow.[23] In addition, planned construction along the New York Thruway between Orange County and Ulster County was postponed by a week.[24] Despite over 1 ft (30 cm) of snow in Port Jervis, New York, the record snow drought in New York City continued, as Central Park only picked up 0.2 in (0.51 cm) of snow.[25] Boston measured 3.8 in (9.7 cm) during the snow event, with 5.6 in (14 cm) of snow in Providence, Rhode Island and 10.4 in (26 cm) of snow in Hartford, Connecticut.[26]

The first winter storm hit the Midwest, Southeast, and East Coast on January 8–10, 2024.[27] Interstate 70 was closed from Watkins, Colorado to the Kansas state line due to the storm.[28] Winds in Colorado gusted up to 80 mph (130 km/h), while winds in New Mexico reached 76 mph (122 km/h). Snow drifts in the Oklahoma Panhandle reached 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 m) due to wind and heavy snowfall.[29] In the Eastern United States, many states had over 40,000 customers lose power, with 130,000 power outages in New York and 90,000 power outages in Pennsylvania.[30] Western New York was hit hard, with winds gusting to 74 mph (119 km/h) in Dunkirk and 78 mph (126 km/h) in Watertown;[31] the National Weather Service's Buffalo office warned in an Area Forecast Discussion that gusts from the southeast descending from Tug Hill could reach "potentially generational" levels.[32] In total, about 1,350 flights were canceled, more than 8,700 more flights were delayed, about two dozen tornadoes were reported, and at least 6 people died because of the storm.[30]

Second storm (January 10–13)

Category 0 "Nuisance" (RSI/NOAA: N/A)

The second system, which brought blizzard conditions to some areas, hit most of the U.S. starting on January 10, 2024, sweeping from the Northwest into the Midwest, Great Lakes area, and the East Coast.[33][34] Almost every U.S. state became under some form of weather alert.[35] The storm resulted in blizzard warnings for Oregon and Washington's mountain areas for the first time since 2012.[36] Crater Lake National Park closed due to the winter storm.[37] Following the storm, record cold conditions were observed in Washington, with Seattle observing a low of 13 °F (−11 °C), their coldest temperature since 1990. Ski resorts in on Mount Baker closed due to the cold as well.[38] More than 443,000 customers lost power from Oregon to Michigan, with 111,000 outages in Oregon alone.[39] Portions of Interstate 70 in Kansas were closed due to the winter weather. Moline, Illinois recorded their second snowiest day on record on January 12, with 15.4 in (39 cm) of snow.[40] Nationwide, over 2000 flights were canceled on January 12 and over another 1000 were canceled on January 13. A state of emergency and travel ban was declared in Western New York, forcing the playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills to be postponed from January 14 at 1pm to January 15 at 4:30pm.[35] Five people died due to the storm: three in Oregon,[41] one person in California,[40] and one in Wisconsin.[42]

The winter storm in Oregon resulted in two fatalities, 161,000 customers losing power, and all MAX Light Rail service being suspended for three days.[43][44] Winds in the Columbia River Gorge reached 80 mph (130 km/h), with gusts over 50 mph (80 km/h) in Portland.[45] Many cities in the Southeastern United States, such as Little Rock, Arkansas and Nashville, Tennessee closed schools.[46] In the Northeastern United States, the storm snapped record long streaks without 1 in (2.5 cm) of snow in several cities, with a little over 1 inch (2.5 cm) recorded in Atlantic City, 3.3 in (8.4 cm) of snow in Philadelphia[47] and 4.9 in (12 cm) of snow in Baltimore, with Washington D.C. recording 4.1 in (10 cm) of snow.[48] Central Park reported 1.2 in (3.0 cm) of snow on January 16, their first inch of snow in a single day since February 13, 2022. The storm total there was 1.6 in (4.1 cm).[49]

In total, at least 30 fatalities have been linked to this storm system, including 14 in Tennessee, five in Pennsylvania, three in New York, three in Oregon, and one in Kansas.[50]

Mid-January cold wave

Freezing temperatures affected campaign events leading up to the Iowa Caucuses on January 15, and could affect turnout in the first contest in the 2024 presidential primaries and caucuses.[51] In addition, the cold temperatures resulted in the 4th coldest NFL game on record between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, with kickoff temperature being −4 °F (−20 °C).[52] Fifteen people were hospitalized due to the cold temperatures during the game.[53] Wind chills following the storm reached as low as −60 °F (−51 °C) in Montana, and wind chills were still −9 °F (−23 °C) as far south as Dallas on January 14.[54] On January 13, Dillon, Montana reached an all time record low of −42 °F (−41 °C), while Bozeman, Montana recorded their second coldest temperature at −45 °F (−43 °C).[55] That same day, Dickinson, North Dakota reached a −70 °F (−57 °C) wind chill, their coldest since the wind chill formula was updated in 2001, and a −33 °F (−36 °C) air temperature, a daily record and their coldest temperature since 1990.[56] On January 16, Houston dropped to a daily record low of 19 °F (−7 °C).[57] The cold wave and snow that the storm brought with it led to at least 55 fatalities.[58]

Early February West Coast atmospheric rivers

Main article: February 2024 California atmospheric rivers

A Pineapple Express storm hit the state from 1 February to 2 February 2024, before moving over the United States and settling over the I-25 corridor in Colorado, where heavy snow fell. Another one is expected to hit February 3rd and last until February 5th, with the National Weather Service calling it "potentially life-threatening." Other news sources estimated that Los Angeles could receive six-months' worth of rain in the 48-hour period, while the Sierra Nevada mountains are generally expected to get 1 to 3 ft (30 to 91 cm) of snow, with over 4 feet (120 cm) of snow expected in higher elevations, such as Mammoth Lakes, CA. Parts of the San Bernardino Mountains' foothills could receive 10 to 12 in (250 to 300 mm) of rain. [59]

Pre-Valentine's Day nor'easter

Main article: February 2024 nor'easter

A weak area of low pressure developed along the Gulf Coast and trekked northeastwards throughout February 11–12 across the Southeast as the system as a whole continued eastward.[60] At 09:00 UTC, the Weather Prediction Center deemed it necessary to begin issue storm summary bulletins for the winter storm.[61] As the system became a nor'easter and moved offshore on February 13, rapid deepening – known also as "bombing out" – commenced overnight, with the central pressure falling from 991 mb (29.3 inHg) at 09:00 UTC on February 13 to 964 mb (28.5 inHg) at 03:00 UTC on February 14, a drop of 27 millibars (0.80 inHg) in 18 hours.[62][63] As this process commenced during the early morning hours on February 13, precipitation rapidly switched from rain to heavy snowfall along much of the Mid-Atlantic, with rates approaching 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) per hour in the northwestern and northeastern portions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, respectively, which led to the heaviest snowfall totals of the event in those areas.[64] The nor'easter moved quickly, with precipitation and snowfall ending across the Mid-Atlantic and eventually New England by evening that day; consequently, the WPC terminated storm summary bulletins for the departing nor'easter at 03:00 UTC on February 14.[65]

Many cities in the Mid-Atlantic, particularly New York City, were expected to receive the heaviest snowfall accumulation in at least two years due to the nor'easter,[66] although the storm was notable for being difficult to predict in the aforementioned regions in the hours leading up to the event. Flights were cancelled or delayed across the Mid-Atlantic, and millions spanning from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts were placed under winter storm warnings. Over 175,000 people across the Northeast lost power, due to the heavy wet nature of the snow, and the nor'easter was responsible for at least one death so far as of February 13. Separately, the system dumped at least 1 foot (12 in; 30 cm) in parts of Texas and Oklahoma causing severe impacts in the region as well.

Mid-February Mid-Atlantic winter storm

Category 0 "Nuisance" (RSI/NOAA: N/A)
DurationFebruary 15–17, 2024
Maximum snow13.8 in (35 cm)
FatalitiesUnknown

A surprise major winter storm began affecting the Mid-Atlantic during the overnight hours of February 16–17. A fast-moving clipper system moved through the Midwest early on February 16, dropping 3–5 in (7.6–12.7 cm) of snow with isolated higher amounts near the cities of St. Louis, Missouri and Kansas City. The winter storm moved eastwards into the Ohio Valley where similar accumulations were reported. The main event began later that day as the system approached the Mid-Atlantic states. Frontogenesis occurred spawning a very heavy snowband reminiscent of those in lake-effect snow, which pushed into the eastern regions of Pennsylvania, central New Jersey – including the town of New Brunswick – and the southern parts of Staten Island, New York and western Long Island, just south of New York City.[67] Extreme snowfall rates of 4–5 in (10–13 cm) per hour occurred in this band, which the Mount Holly National Weather Service (NWS) office described as "serious snowfall rates" and by amateur meteorologists in the region as "historic".[68]

The heaviest snow fell in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, with 13.8 in (35 cm), with 13 in (33 cm) of snow in Township, New Jersey, 12.1 in (31 cm) in Allentown and 9.9 in (25 cm) of snow in Coney Island, New York.[69] Snowfall in New York City varied heavily, with 6.1 in (15 cm) of snow at John F. Kennedy International Airport and 2 in (5.1 cm) of snow in Central Park.[70] 2.2 in (5.6 cm) of snow fell in Baltimore,[71] and 3.5 in (8.9 cm) of snow fell in Philadelphia.[72] The winter weather resulted in the National Park Service shutting down portions of George Washington Parkway.[73]
