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.
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.

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has exceeded the 30-year average by nearly 19%, indicating a recent upward trend. However, snowfall has been highly variable, with significant fluctuations such as a low of 8.2 cm in 2022 and a peak of 36.8 cm in 2021. The current season's snowfall is 18% below the recent 5-year average and slightly below the 30-year average, suggesting a return to more typical historical levels after several above-average years. This variability highlights the importance of monitoring for potential anomalies in future seasons.
