5-Yr Avg by Now

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has been significantly higher than the 30-year average, indicating an upward trend in recent snowfall. However, the most recent season saw a marked decrease, with snowfall at only 67% of the 5-year average and 86% of the 30-year average, representing a notable anomaly compared to recent years. This suggests increased variability, with the current season falling well below both short- and long-term norms despite the overall upward trend.
