Snowfall over the past five years has been highly variable, with significant anomalies such as the extremely low snowfall in 2022 (0.1 cm) and the unusually high snowfall in 2023 (70.1 cm). The current season's snowfall (21.4 cm) is slightly above the 5-year and 30-year averages, representing 44% and 47% of those historical averages, respectively. Despite recent fluctuations, the overall trend remains relatively stable when comparing short- and long-term averages, though the pronounced year-to-year variability suggests increased unpredictability in seasonal snowfall.
