When Will This Cold End? (Asking for a Friend...)

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ (February 17, 2026) - We've all been there: staring out the window, clutching a mug of coffee, and wondering exactly how much longer this "winter wonderland" phase is supposed to last. It's only mid-February, but the charm of bulky sweaters and frosty windshields is definitely wearing thin.

If you're looking for a glimmer of hope, the Farmer's Almanac (pulling the data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) suggests we keep those coats handy for a while longer. In New Brunswick, the average date for the final spring frost doesn't hit until April 21. Hang in there-we'll thaw out eventually!
