5-Yr Avg by Now
Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has been 72.9 cm, which is below the 30-year average of 85.3 cm, indicating a recent downward trend. However, the current season stands out as an anomaly, with snowfall reaching 132% of the long-term average and 155% of the recent 5-year average. This spike is primarily driven by the exceptionally high snowfall recorded in 2022, contrasting with lower totals in 2020, 2023, and 2024. Overall, while the long-term trend suggests declining snowfall, recent seasons have exhibited significant variability, including both unusually low and high years.
