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.

5.9cm vs. weather-model avg
Quiet stretch expected
The model predicts no significant snowfall over days 8–14. Some weather models disagree and show 5.9cm — long-range models often over-forecast precipitation this far out.

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.

5-Yr Avg by Now

Snowfall over the past five years has been significantly below the 30-year average, with a 5-year average of 9.9 cm compared to the long-term average of 47.7 cm, indicating a marked downward trend. The 2023 season stands out as an anomaly, recording 27.2 cm—nearly triple the recent 5-year average—while the other years saw notably low snowfall, including a near-record low of 0.6 cm in 2024. Despite the spike in 2023, the overall pattern reflects reduced snowfall and increased variability in recent years, with current season totals remaining well below the long-term norm.
