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 US1VTLM0001. 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) ÷ Stowe village CoCoRaHS (n=5 overlapping valid Nov–Apr seasons, median ratio 1.77 at the summit), interpolated to ~2,800 ft. Not a resort report. PRISM 4 km winter precip ratio at the ski-area vs this gauge is 1.23 (precip, not snowfall).
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 2,068 ft below the ~2,800 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 GHCN CoCoRaHS observer in Stowe village (732 ft) — ~2,000 ft below mid-mountain. Nearby higher current GHCN SNOW stations are farther or too short. The old Mt. Mansfield GHCN SNOW series ends 2017 and is used only for a labeled mid-mountain estimate; the summit stake depth (SNWD) is context, not snowfall inches.
