5-Yr Avg by Now
Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has exceeded the 30-year average by approximately 12%, indicating a modest upward trend in recent seasons. However, snowfall has been highly variable, with significant fluctuations such as the notably high 320.2 cm in 2023 and a low of 114.1 cm in 2020. The current season's snowfall is substantially below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at just 49% and 55% of those benchmarks respectively, marking a significant anomaly and the lowest total in the recent record. This suggests increased variability and a sharp decline in snowfall for the current season compared to historical norms.
