# Heavy Snow — U.S. toll in 2025

In **2025**, NOAA recorded **2 direct deaths**, **0 injuries**, and **$1,973,000 property damage** (+ $7,005,000 crop) from Heavy Snow, across **43 states** (1,374 events). That is 0.3% of all recorded 2025 hazard deaths.

**How to read this:** one **volatile year** (a major event in another year changes it sharply) — NOT "the deadliest hazard in history." Deaths are NOAA **"direct" deaths only**; indirect deaths are excluded. Damage is NOAA's reported estimate, not insured loss. This is the recorded past toll, **not a forecast of your risk** — for that, see the per-state/county risk profiles and the National Weather Service.
