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. The 2021 and 2020 seasons were significant outliers, with snowfall well above both short- and long-term averages, while the most recent three seasons have seen a return to lower totals. The current season's snowfall is 56% above the 5-year average and 63% above the 30-year average, marking a notable spike compared to recent years. This pattern suggests increased variability, with occasional extreme snowfall years driving the overall upward trend.
