Official gauges only (NOAA GHCN-Daily snowfall and NRCS SNOTEL winter precipitation). Not resort marketing, not OpenSnow, not OnTheSnow. This page uses the NOAA GHCN-Daily station USC00434261. Mid-mountain ESTIMATE inches, when shown, are labeled estimates — not a resort report. This gauge sits in the valley or village, not on the summit.

ESTIMATE: mid-mountain snowfall from the official GHCN SNOW pair Mt. Mansfield (USC00435416, 3,950 ft, record ends 2017) ÷ Jeffersonville COOP (n=18 overlapping valid Nov–Apr seasons, median ratio 1.61 at the summit), interpolated to ~2,500 ft. Not a resort report. Not stake depth.
Vermont official gauges sit in villages and valleys, often 500–2,000+ ft below mid-mountain. The percentile compares this gauge to its own past — it is not an on-mountain snow report. This gauge is 1,337 ft below the ~2,500 ft mid-mountain used for the estimate.
The NWS Mt. Mansfield summit stake still reports snow depth (GHCN SNWD), not seasonal snowfall inches. Recent winter max depths: 91 in (2024), 103 in (2025), 83 in (through Apr 2026). Depth is not a snowfall total, and the GHCN SNOW series at this site ends in 2017.
Ghost lines are past seasons. Dashed is the median. Band is the 10th–90th percentile envelope. X-axis is day of season, not calendar year.
Sliding the date recomputes the percentile against the same calendar date in past seasons — never a full year vs a partial year.
NOAA COOP in Jeffersonville (1,163 ft), at the base of Smugglers' Notch. Clean 27-season record. The Mt. Mansfield GHCN SNOW series (ends 2017) is the calibration pair for a labeled mid-mountain estimate — not the current gauge, and not stake depth.
