I have been perusing data again and was looking at the most snowy 5 year periods for the foothills from the last 75 years.

 

Most Snowy-

1960-1965- 70-80 inches of snow. Winter of 1960 had around 30-40 inches alone (most of it coming in Feb and March). 

1968-1973. 70-80 inches of snow. Winter of 1968/69 was the snowiest on record for a lot of our region. 35-45 inches of snow fell that winter alone. 

1943-1948- 65-75 inches of snow. Around 15 inches each season.

2014-2019- 60-70 inches of snow. Big storms in 2016 and 2018 helped this period make the list.

I’ve been exploring home snow makers so I can never experience a drought again
