Early signs suggest a weaker Polar Vortex for Winter 2025/2026

[Blaaamo]

Early data shows strong signs that the Polar Vortex is likely to be weaker than normal in the Winter of 2025/2026. A weaker Polar Vortex in the stratosphere usually means a weakened or disrupted jet stream below, which increases the chance of a more dynamic Winter pattern over the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Hoping it means more cold temps and more snow!

Weaker Polar Vortex

Just now saw NOAA report of possible 33-40 % chance of warmer than normal temps for NY and most of NE except Maine the winter of 25/26. Guess we need to focus on great snowmaking

This dude predicts for the NE a colder & snowier than normal ’25-26 winter with some big coastal storms to boot.

Who knows?

Farmer's Almanac been around before the interweb.
They’re also saying cold and snowy for NY.
