Machine-learning blend of all 7 weather models, trained on 1.48M historical forecasts. On the most recent gate window, +35.9% more accurate at day 8–14 than the simple model average.

1.6cm vs. weather-model avg
Quiet stretch expected
The model predicts no significant snowfall over days 8–14. Some weather models disagree and show 1.6cm — long-range models often over-forecast precipitation this far out.

Long-range outlooks are inherently uncertain — treat days 8–14 as directional, not a precise forecast. Shorter horizons (days 1–7) still come from the individual weather models above.

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.
