While the average temp will increase and summers get hotter, the warming in the Arctic has weakened the jet stream and polar vortex, allowing more frequent brutal cold snaps. Freak snaps like the Texas freeze are predicted with climate change. In New England the increase in surface moisture and warmth to the south are expected to make heavy snow Nor’easters more common.

The 2010s were a decade of record heat in New England, but several states also set records for coldest February and snowiest winters/storms.
