About 28.6 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 6.4 miles away, averaged over 9 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 3 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 1.1 with 4 inches or more.

11 inches on November 12, 2019, the largest single day at a NOAA weather station 6.4 miles away in 9 winters. The snowiest winter was 2017 to 2018, with 48.1 inches.

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Brighton through the night and the 5 to 8 am bus run, adds winter alerts and the Winter Storm Severity Index, and measures the snow against Brighton’s own big snow morning: 3.8 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 6.4 miles away.
