30-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, snowfall has been highly variable, with the 2023 season standing out as a significant anomaly at 296.1 cm—more than double the surrounding years, which all fell below both the 5-year and 30-year averages. The current season's snowfall is substantially lower than both historical averages, at just 41% of the 5-year and 44% of the 30-year norms, highlighting a sharp decline from recent patterns. This variability underscores the influence of outlier years on short-term averages and suggests increased unpredictability in seasonal snowfall.
