Nor'easter brewing this week. When Cincinnati can expect first snow

Bundle up, Cincinnati! It's going to be a chilly week. With winter moving near, many may start to wonder (or worry) when the season's first snow will arrive. It's no secret Ohio is notorious for its "unpredictable weather ," so it shouldn't be surprising that the state's snowfall has been sporadic over the years. In 2025, parts of Cincinnati saw up to 2.6 inches of snow by Nov. 10, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, but Cincinnati has seen snow as early as mid-October . So, when will the region see its first snowfall? It could be sooner than you think. According to The Weather Channel , a potential nor'easter could bring snow later this week. Here's what to know. What is a nor'easter? Nor'easters are large, intense areas of low pressure that typically develop off the East Coast during the late fall, winter and early spring. These storms are called "nor'easters" because they usually bring strong northeast winds as they move north along the Atlantic Coast. Nor'easters often bring heavy rain, heavy snow and severe coastal flooding to the east. Some well-known nor'easters include the notorious Blizzard of 1888 , the Ash Wednesday storm of March 1962
