Daily Snowfall Forecast by Model

Black line = verified SnowSure™ blend (not a simple average). Weights update weekly from measured snowfall at SNOTEL stations and resort reports.

SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting

The black line is not a simple average. For Oberstdorf (alps), we combine seven global weather models using weights learned from daily forecast verification — comparing each model's prediction to measured snowfall (SNOTEL, resort reports, ERA5).

  • 1.Horizon buckets: days 1–3, 4–7, and 8–14 each get separate weights — short-range skill differs from long-range.
  • 2.Regional calibration: weights come from verified error in this geography (Rockies, Alps, Japan, etc.), recalculated weekly.
  • 3.Ground truth only: we never grade a forecast against another model — only against measured snow.

5-Yr Avg by Now

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has remained nearly identical to the 30-year average, indicating long-term stability. However, the most recent season saw a significant drop, with snowfall at just 72% of the 5-year average and 73% of the 30-year average. This sharp decline follows a period of above-average snowfall in 2023 and generally strong seasons from 2020 to 2022, marking the current season as a notable anomaly within an otherwise stable trend.
