30-Yr Avg by Now
Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has increased significantly, with the 5-year average (411.6 cm) exceeding the 30-year average (321.5 cm) by nearly 28%. The 2022 season stands out as an anomaly, recording 713.5 cm—well above both short- and long-term averages—while other recent years have fluctuated closer to or slightly above the long-term mean. The current season's snowfall is notably below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at only 59% and 76% of those benchmarks, respectively, indicating a sharp decline from recent elevated snowfall levels. This suggests increased variability and a recent downturn following a period of above-average snowfall.
