The 2026 winter season is proving to be one for the record books, and the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday is no exception. According to the latest weather forecast from meteorologist Henry Margusity, a significant weather system is set to transform much of the United States into a classic winter scene just in time for the weekend of February 14. This "Valentine’s Day delivery" is part of a larger, long-term weather pattern driven by a stratospheric warming event. This atmospheric phenomenon is effectively "pancaking" Arctic air southward, ensuring that cold temperatures and snowy conditions remain a staple across the Northeast, Midwest, and even the Western states well into March and April.
