The Old Farmer's Almanac predicted a mild winter for 2025-26, with near- to below-normal snowfall in many regions. California received an A- grade, as the forecast matched the warm, dry conditions and low snowpack. The Pacific Northwest earned a B, with warmer temperatures and below-average precipitation leading to delayed openings and significant snow deficits. Despite some successful storm cycles in northern Washington, the overall snowfall was disappointing, particularly in Oregon, which faced one of its worst seasons on record.
