Snowfall over the past five years has averaged slightly below the 30-year average, indicating a modest downward trend. The most recent season saw a significant drop, with snowfall reaching only 46% of the 5-year and 45% of the 30-year averages, marking it as a notable anomaly. This sharp decline follows a period of moderate variability, including an exceptionally high snowfall year in 2023, suggesting increased year-to-year fluctuations.
