Overall, it is evident that snow depth significantly increased from November to February across all three years. Year Three consistently showed the highest snow depths in the first three months, whereas Year One and Two exhibited relatively higher snow levels from February onwards.
To begin with, snow depth in November was relatively low for all years, ranging between 80 and 100 cm. This trend continued in December and January, with a moderate increase in snow depth, especially in Year One and Year Three, both recording just around 150 cm. Year Two showed a slight increase to over 100 cm.
In February, Year One and Year Two witnessed a significant increase in snow depths, reaching approximately 440 cm and 400 cm respectively, while Year Three lagged behind at around 350 cm. The highest snow depths occurred in March and April. Year One represented its maximum in March at roughly 450 cm, while Year Two peaked in April at around 470 cm. In stark contrast, Year Three consistently registered the lowest snow depth in the last two months.
