5-Yr Avg by Now
Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has exceeded the 30-year average by approximately 11%, indicating a recent upward trend. However, this period includes significant variability, with the 2022 season standing out as an anomaly at nearly double the 5-year average, while other years, such as 2020 and 2021, were notably below both short- and long-term averages. The current season's snowfall is substantially lower than both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at just 61% and 67% of those benchmarks, respectively, marking a sharp decline from recent trends. This suggests increased volatility in snowfall patterns, with the current season representing a significant departure from the recent elevated averages.
