5-Yr Avg by Now
Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has increased significantly, with the 5-year average (317.6 cm) well above the 30-year average (231.8 cm), indicating a recent upward trend. The 2022 season stands out as an anomaly with exceptionally high snowfall (457.7 cm), while other recent years have remained closer to the 5-year mean. However, the current season's snowfall is notably lower, reaching only 67% of the 5-year average and 92% of the 30-year average, marking a sharp decline from recent elevated levels. This suggests increased variability and a potential reversal of the recent upward trend.
