5-Yr Avg by Now

Over the past five years, snowfall has exhibited significant variability, with a sharp spike in 2022 (170.9 cm) contrasting with notably lower totals in 2023 and 2024. The current season's snowfall is 7% above the recent 5-year average and 3% above the 30-year average, indicating a modest increase relative to historical norms. Despite the recent uptick, the overall 5-year average remains slightly below the long-term 30-year average, largely due to several below-average seasons offset by the 2022 anomaly. This pattern suggests increased year-to-year volatility rather than a consistent upward or downward trend.
