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.

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.
