5-Yr Avg by Now

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has declined compared to the 30-year average, with the 5-year mean at 178.5 cm versus the long-term average of 209.8 cm, indicating a downward trend. Despite this, the current season's snowfall is significantly above both the recent 5-year and 30-year averages, at 154% and 131% respectively, marking it as an anomalously high year. This suggests increased variability in recent seasons, with notable fluctuations such as the low in 2022 (121.2 cm) followed by substantial rebounds in subsequent years.
