The time when the snow will stop depends entirely on your specific location and the current weather system. Local forecasts can give you an hour-by-hour view of when wintry precipitation is expected to end.
Need your location
Weather services need at least your nearest town or a ZIP/postcode to estimate when snow will taper off, because each area can have different storm timing and temperatures even a few miles apart. Entering your exact location into a reputable forecast site or app will usually show “end timing of wintry precipitation” or similar wording indicating when snow is likely to stop.
How to check quickly
- Go to a national or regional meteorological service site or app and use the radar/“winter weather” or “snow and ice” section for your location; these products often include graphics or tables showing onset and end time of snow bands.
- Use a detailed local forecast (hourly or “WinterCast” style) that shows precipitation type by hour; look for the last hour marked as snow or mixed precipitation for an approximate stop time.
Why timing can change
Snow end times are forecasts, not guarantees, and can shift if the storm track or temperature profile changes slightly, especially near the rain–snow line. Heavier precipitation can also briefly extend snow farther in time or to lower elevations than initially expected before changing back to rain or stopping altogether.
