30-Yr Avg by Now

Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has been 18% higher than the 30-year average, indicating a notable upward trend in recent snowfall. The most recent season recorded 148.8 cm, slightly below the 5-year average but still 23% above the long-term norm. Despite some year-to-year variability, including a low of 117.9 cm in 2020 and a peak of 174.5 cm in 2022, overall snowfall remains elevated compared to historical levels. This suggests a period of increased snowfall relative to long-term patterns, with occasional significant fluctuations.
