Mount Apgar (1/4)

I’ve shared this view many times before, but this is how Mount Apgar looked on Monday after the storms went through. A couple of things to note here. Although this location is at 5,236 feet, well above the snow line, there are about 2-3 inches of snow on the ground. Also, notice how far down on the mountains in the distance that the snow is.

The temperature was about 37° F when this image was captured so the snow was beginning to melt, but the clouds are snow clouds at the trailing end of the storms. At the temperature when this was taken, snow could still have fallen on Mount Apgar, even though this is above freezing. Many times, I’ve experienced snow when the temperatures were at 40° or slightly above.
