Snowfall over the past five years has been highly variable, with extreme lows in 2023 and 2024, but a significant spike in 2022. The recent 5-year average of 25.5 cm is substantially higher than the 30-year average of 7.8 cm, indicating an upward trend in recent snowfall. The current season's snowfall, while low at 0.9 cm, is still 167% of the 5-year average and 543% of the 30-year average, highlighting how historically low averages have been. This pattern suggests increased variability and occasional anomalously high snowfall years within an overall context of historically low snowfall.
