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 USC00437612. This gauge sits in the valley or village, not on the summit.

Gappy seasons are excluded from the historical sample. We do not paint the zero-filled total as a poor / quiet percentile on the map.
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 1,159 ft below the ~2,500 ft mid-mountain used for the estimate.
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 the Mad River / Lincoln valley (1,341 ft). Also the Mad River Glen proxy. 2025-26 is gappy (63 missing days) — nearby Warren CoCoRaHS observers are even holier, so this remains the official series. Treat the percentile as incomplete, not a confirmed quiet year.
