5-Yr Avg by Now

Snowfall over the past five years has been significantly above the long-term 30-year average, with the 5-year average reaching 151.9 cm compared to the 30-year average of 102.6 cm. The most recent season, however, saw a sharp decline to 120.1 cm, which is 55% lower than the 5-year average and 82% lower than the 30-year average, marking a notable anomaly after several high-snowfall years. This suggests a period of elevated snowfall followed by a substantial drop in the most recent season, indicating increased variability and a potential shift in recent snowfall patterns.
