The number of snow/ice events and their size tends to be clustered in years. Once a snowy pattern takes hold, they tend to stick for about 6 weeks. If an area falls into a snowless pattern, that tends to stick as well. Finally, last winter ended up being very snowy. It’s very unusual to have two back to back significantly above average snow years, so this winter, while certainly having some snow, isn’t likely to be one you’ll remember for the final numbers.
