5-Yr Avg by Now

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has been significantly higher than the 30-year average, indicating an upward trend in recent snowfall. The 2022 season stands out as an anomaly with exceptionally high snowfall (1017.9 cm), nearly double the 5-year average. However, the most recent season's snowfall is notably lower, at just 69% of the 5-year average and 91% of the 30-year average, suggesting a sharp decline from recent highs. This variability highlights both increased snowfall in the short term and considerable year-to-year fluctuations.
