Chicago, IL – The 2024-2025 winter season has been a wild one, with snowfall totals across the Midwest and East Coast soaring past seasonal averages in several cities. From the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic, massive snow accumulations have left residents digging out and meteorologists stunned.

According to the latest data from NOAA, Erie, PA, has been buried under 109.9 inches of snow so far—nearly 20 inches above average. Syracuse, NY, has seen a staggering 109.7 inches, while Rochester, NY, is close behind at 83.8 inches. The lake-effect snow machine has been relentless, hammering cities across New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan.

Meanwhile, places that usually don’t see much winter action have also been hit hard. Richmond, VA, has already recorded 11.7 inches, far exceeding its seasonal norm. Even Elizabeth City, NC, has seen 12.9 inches, a rare sight for the southern coast.

In the Midwest, Cleveland, OH, has picked up 33.1 inches, while Pittsburgh, PA, has measured 30.4 inches. Snowbelt areas like Youngstown, OH, and Elkins, WV, have also been blasted by frequent storms, piling up 42.7 inches and 65.0 inches, respectively.

Not everywhere is seeing above-average snowfall, though. Cities like Boston, MA (28.1 inches) and NYC (Central Park) (12.9 inches) are lagging behind their usual totals, proving this winter has been anything but predictable.
