The following 2 pics by Dave Carroll on Spruce Knob as he and his Virginia Tech students did annual station maintenance that makes this data possible.

Dave also reported on and off snow showers on top today. That the trees on top were pretty much bare with decent foliage further down.

Snowshoe

-important note. Nearly 1 year ago the official Snowshoe coop MMTS was moved and a secondary sensor has been used. The data is not being used by NCEI. I believe that to still be the case. The official Snowshoe coop reported a max if 46 today. 10°off from reality. Hopefully before winter this is rectified.
