Weather history · Stratton Mountain Resort · 2016–2025

This summary uses the destination’s fixed coordinates and the historical service’s terrain elevation. It does not change with the forecast’s manual elevation setting. Mountain terrain, wind redistribution and snowmaking are not fully represented. Snowfall days do not indicate opening days or piste snow depth.

Explore rain and snowfall frequency, monthly average daily lows and highs, and daily temperature extremes within this decade.

Averages of complete months within 2016–2025
Month Mean low °C Mean high °C Precipitation mm/month Rain days/month Snowfall days/month

These are ERA5 reanalysis estimates on an approximately 25 km grid, with provider temperature downscaling, rather than station observations or official records. This decade is not a 30-year climate normal.

Rain day: liquid rain ≥1 mm. Snowfall day: modeled new snowfall ≥0.1 cm, which does not imply snow cover. Precipitation includes rain and the water equivalent of snow. Snow frequencies are especially approximate in mountainous and coastal locations.

Monthly averages use complete months and annual averages use complete years for each variable. Temperature extremes use complete available years within this decade. Coverage is shown on the cards and in table cell tooltips. This historical summary does not apply a forecast calibration.

A downhill ski area in Vermont, United States, with mapped lift-served terrain.

Before you go

Check the operator’s current piste map, lift status and access information before setting off.

Plan your visit

Consider temperature, fresh snow and wind together. Conditions at the base may differ from the upper slopes. Set an elevation in the forecast to explore a different level of the mountain.

Stratton Mountain Resort: skiing, snow and mountain trips

Stratton Mountain Resort · Vermont, United States. A downhill ski area in Vermont, United States, with mapped lift-served terrain. Check the operator’s current piste map, lift status and access information before setting off.

Mapped terrain in Stratton Mountain Resort spans approximately 607–1,183 m. Compare the forecast elevation with that range when looking at rain versus snow or temperatures at different heights. These are mapping figures, not a report of current open terrain.

Woodstock is approximately 66 km to the northeast of this point. Compare the two forecasts if your day includes both locations. This is a straight-line distance, not a road route.

For skiing and snowboarding, distinguish predicted new snowfall from measured snow depth on pistes. Compare wind, temperatures and the selected forecast elevation; a village point is not a lift station or summit. For summer hiking and sightseeing, the same hourly outlook helps you plan around cloud and rain. Check current piste, lift and route updates with the operator.

Around the June solstice, daylight is approximately 15 h 20 min; around the December solstice, 9 h 00 min. This helps plan the time available for an outing or photography. These are approximate astronomical daylight lengths, not sunshine forecasts; cloud and the local horizon can reduce usable light.

Use the 2016–2025 weather history below to compare months using temperature, rain and modelled snowfall. It is a ten-year reanalysis summary, not a 30-year climate normal or a record from a weather station.

Weather models and where they come from

GFS

USA · NOAA / NCEP

Global Forecast System: a numerical model that simulates atmospheric physics.

AIGFS

USA · NOAA / NCEP

Artificial Intelligence Global Forecast System: a machine-learning model initialized from NOAA atmospheric analyses.

ECMWF IFS

Europe · ECMWF

Integrated Forecasting System: the intergovernmental European centre’s numerical model. IFS 9 km and IFS 0.25° are products of the same model family on different data grids.

ECMWF AIFS

Europe · ECMWF

Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System: this page uses AIFS Single, which produces one forecast scenario.

GEM

Canada · ECCC

Global Environmental Multiscale: the atmospheric model within Canada’s GDPS. The current system combines numerical prediction with large-scale guidance from the GEML AI model.

The blend uses the values available for each day and variable. Coverage falls as individual models reach their forecast limits. The two IFS products are not independent models. Model spread shows disagreement, not the probability of a weather event.

Wind: maximum daily speed at 10 m and prevailing direction of origin. Direction uses a speed-weighted circular calculation; missing or strongly opposing directions display a dash. 🥶: low below 0°C. 🥵: high above 30°C. 💨 in Conditions: wind at least 40 km/h or gusts at least 60 km/h.

Weather in other locations

Open-Meteo and NOAA: where does the forecast come from?

The Source control selects data for widgets, weather maps and forecast tables. Xionia shows the provider used and the loading progress.

Open-Meteo — access to different models

Open-Meteo is a weather data service. It distributes forecasts from weather centres including NOAA, ECMWF and Environment and Climate Change Canada. Each model calculates how the atmosphere may evolve in its own way. Xionia compares the available values for each day and variable using the rules described in the forecast methodology.

NOAA GFS and AIGFS — direct forecast data

NOAA is the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The shared Xionia cache supports GFS grids at 0.25° and 0.5°, plus NOAA’s artificial intelligence model AIGFS at 0.25°. Models appear when a complete forecast cycle is available. We use six-hour steps out to 16 days to estimate daily conditions. AIGFS supplies temperature, wind, pressure and precipitation; cloud cover, gusts and snowfall in centimetres are not filled from another model.

How does the NOAA combination work?

GFS 0.25° and 0.5° are grids from the same model. Only one counts in the combination: the newest available grid, preferring 0.25° for the same cycle. AIGFS is a second model family. When both supply compatible values, each receives a 50% weight; otherwise only available values contribute. These are initial equal weights, not weights trained on observations. Forecasts and station readings are archived for later evaluation.

Elevation and AIGFS temperature

The label “native-grid T” means that AIGFS temperature refers to the model grid. These files do not supply verified surface elevation for the same adjustment used with GFS. When GFS temperature is elevation-adjusted, AIGFS temperature remains visible for comparison but is excluded from the temperature combination and the corresponding frost/heat signals. It is not an observation at the exact elevation of a summit or ski resort.

Which option should I use?

Automatic tries Open-Meteo first and switches to NOAA if a supported request fails. Selecting NOAA loads available models from the shared server cache: visitors receive values for their location without downloading whole global grids. If the NOAA cache is unavailable, the existing GFS 0.5° browser fallback remains available and needs more time and mobile data.

How should I read differences and gaps?

The provider, available model, grid and forecast issue time can change the values. A dash means missing data. Model agreement is not a percentage probability, and days 8–14 have greater uncertainty. Observations from the Agios Stefanos station, historical ERA5 reanalysis and the daily FWI index have their own sources and are unaffected by this control.
