Early October: Snowfall is anticipated to become more widespread in the Rockies, including parts of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and some regions in South Dakota, Idaho, and Utah.
Late October: The second half of October will likely bring snow to a broader area, including Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and parts of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
Early November: By mid-November, many mountainous regions, including the Rockies and parts of the Sierra Nevada, as well as areas in the Northern Plains and Great Lakes, are expected to experience their first snowfall.
Late November: Snowfall will likely extend to more southern regions around Thanksgiving, including parts of Texas, Oklahoma, and the central plains.
Early December: Snow will fall by mid-December across much of the country, including the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Midwest.
January: The peak of snowfall is expected in early January, with most areas having already received their first snow by this time.
The video emphasizes that while these timelines provide averages, weather can be unpredictable, and snowfall can occur outside these expected periods.
