30-Yr Avg by Now

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, the data reveals significant year-to-year variability, with the 2023 season standing out as an extreme anomaly at 428.1 cm—more than double the 5-year average—while 2020 and 2022 saw notably low totals. The current season's snowfall is substantially below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at just 41% and 48% respectively, marking a sharp decline from recent trends. This suggests increased volatility in snowfall patterns, with both record highs and lows occurring within a short timeframe.
