glenn57, it never gets better because it's an accumulating statistic. It will remain as it is now for eternity.

I'm not understanding what your saying???  It's updated every so often so one should assume as the snow melts and the temperature rises it would get easier.

Unless this year's will stay as it is, and assume they start clean next winter??? :scratch:

Yes, it starts out a 0 every fall. They add (1) point for every day the temp drops below 0 degrees and (1) point for every day the snow depth is over 15 inches. Consequently, it can only go up and never goes down. Think of it as taxes.  :rotflmao:
