SnowSure™ blend — verified model weighting
The black line is not a simple average. For Red River (rockies), we combine seven global weather models using weights learned from daily forecast verification — comparing each model's prediction to measured snowfall (SNOTEL, resort reports, ERA5).
- 1.Horizon buckets: days 1–3, 4–7, and 8–14 each get separate weights — short-range skill differs from long-range.
- 2.Regional calibration: weights come from verified error in this geography (Rockies, Alps, Japan, etc.), recalculated weekly.
- 3.Ground truth only: we never grade a forecast against another model — only against measured snow.

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.
