Here's how much snow Pennsylvania can expect this winter | Winter Weather Outlook 2023-24

Last winter came up short for snow lovers. We know you’re wondering if we’ll see more snow this time around in central Pennsylvania!

Before we look ahead, let’s look back at last season. We forecasted a milder winter with below-average snow, mostly because of a La Niña pattern for the third winter in a row. This was only the third time it’s happened in recorded history. However, it was clear that third-year La Niña seasons feature warm Februarys and below-average snowfall. This weighed heavily on our predictions.

This winter, the setup is very different with the return of El Niño, and the outcome is not as clear as last season. Although that usually means a warmer winter here, it doesn’t always mean less snow. In fact, there have been varying amounts of snow in the last 20 years where a moderate to strong El Niño was present. There’s a lot to unpack when asking, “Why?”
