Good morning folks,

It’s a soggy, wet morning in camp. A light rain is moving out of the area but, will remain cloudy today. The high yesterday was 33 degrees. The low dropped down to 27 degrees. It’s currently 31 degrees with no winds. We recorded 0.16” of precipitation and no new snow was received. Snow depth is around 8”- 10”. Crampons will be a must with the freeze/thaw cycle. Sun returns tomorrow with colder temps. It’s going to be a relaxing day on the mountain. Have a great day folks.

Fresh homemade biscuits. No other way to start the morning on LeConte. SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

The snow was 18" in the yesterday's update and today it is half that much. Why did so much of it melt in one day when the temps remain so cold?

Temperatures warmed in the 30’s last 2 days. And with rain we had. Snow was very fluffy. Also, sunshine helps melt things pretty well!

Pnut….you’re doing a great job ! Thank you so much for all you do. I too, love your photos ! That little wooden deer by the biscuits is so adorable. <3 Biscuits look yummie. And that lamp <3 What a beautiful photo. I’ve hiked Trillium, I know that water source. Have a great time up there. Stay safe and stay warm.

Are the roads around the mountain (that access the trail heads) open now? I checked the park's twitter page for road closurez and it has not been updated.
