# Winter Weather — U.S. toll in 2025

In **2025**, NOAA recorded **5 direct deaths**, **6 injuries**, and **$2,277,500 property damage** from Winter Weather, across **46 states** (3,202 events). That is 0.8% 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.
