Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has exceeded the 30-year average by approximately 17%, indicating a modest upward trend in recent snowfall. However, significant year-to-year variability is evident, with 2023 experiencing an anomalously high snowfall of 428.1 cm, more than double the 5-year average, while 2020 saw a notably low total of 91 cm. The current season's snowfall is substantially below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at only 41% and 48% of those benchmarks, respectively, marking a sharp decline from recent years. This pattern highlights both increased variability and the presence of significant anomalies within the observed period.
