Snowfall over the past five years has been highly variable, with significant anomalies such as the exceptionally high snowfall in 2022 (25.3 cm) and complete absence in 2023. The recent 5-year average (8.00 cm) is more than double the 30-year average (3.40 cm), indicating a notable upward shift in recent snowfall compared to the long-term norm. The current season's snowfall is 200% above the 5-year average and 470% above the 30-year average, highlighting an unusually snowy year relative to both short- and long-term trends. This pattern suggests increased volatility and a potential upward trend in snowfall, punctuated by occasional extreme seasons.
