5-Yr Avg by Now

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has exceeded the 30-year average by approximately 18%, indicating a recent upward trend. However, this period includes significant variability, with the 2022 season standing out as an anomaly at 651.9 cm—more than double the 30-year average—while other years were closer to or below long-term norms. The current season's snowfall is notably lower, at just 67% of the recent 5-year average and 79% of the 30-year average, marking a sharp decline from the recent elevated trend. This suggests increased volatility in snowfall patterns, with the current season representing a significant drop compared to both short- and long-term historical averages.
