Charleston, West Virginia – Road crews across the Mid-Atlantic have faced a steady winter workload, with seasonal snowfall totals climbing above normal in several states as of 5 p.m. Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
According to the National Weather Service Eastern Region, preliminary snowfall data for 2025-2026 shows much of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and parts of New Jersey tracking ahead of their seasonal averages. Repeated systems moving along the Ohio Valley and up the East Coast delivered consistent snow events from early January through mid-February.
In West Virginia, Beckley has recorded 44.7 inches so far this season, well above its normal pace, while Bluefield stands at 47.3 inches. Charleston has measured 25.5 inches, slightly above average. These totals have translated to periodic school delays and multiple treatment cycles on Interstate 64 and Interstate 77 during peak storm days.
Pennsylvania’s numbers also reflect a productive winter. Pittsburgh has logged 43.6 inches, comfortably above normal, while Allentown sits at 35.5 inches and Philadelphia has reached 30.0 inches — both trending ahead of seasonal averages. In central Pennsylvania, Harrisburg and surrounding corridors have seen repeated plowable events tied to coastal lows.
New Jersey stations show mixed but generally healthy totals. Newark has measured 53.4 inches, significantly above its seasonal norm, while Trenton stands at 43.4 inches. Wilmington, Delaware has recorded 24.0 inches, slightly above average.
These values remain preliminary and could shift as late-season systems develop into early March. Updated snowfall summaries are expected as winter gradually transitions toward spring.
