Forecast Flakes maps snowfall, ice, and freezing-rain forecasts for the United States and Canada, with city-level timelines, seasonal comparisons, and a two-week ensemble outlook.

Why it surfaced

This is more than a weather landing page: it reads National Weather Service grid data, shows when a city’s first flakes arrive, and answers whether a storm may require plowing. Its replay compares the 2025–26 season with 1996–2025 normals and winters back to 1951, while the site plainly marks where its data cannot support a snowfall forecast.
