Cabin Mt at Bald Knob

Throwback to this date in 2016….Snow across the high ground. At 12:30pm my accurite sensor read 30° atop Weiss Knob. Temps didn’t appear to flucuate much that afternoon and the tops remained white the entire day into the next.

Cabin Mt-Western Sods

Throwback to this date 2010

East side of the Sods at Bear Rocks about a half mile to a mile north of the parking area a large drifted area remained after the heavy snowfall season of 2010
