5-Yr Avg by Now

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has slightly exceeded the 30-year average, indicating a modest upward trend. However, the current season's snowfall is significantly below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at just 47% and 48% of those benchmarks, respectively. This marks a notable anomaly, as recent years included higher snowfall totals, particularly in 2022 and 2023, before the sharp decline this season. Overall, while the longer-term trend has been stable to slightly increasing, the current season represents a substantial deviation from historical norms.
