Morning y'all, It's a blustery, snowy morning up top. The high yesterday reached 37 degrees. The overnight low was 25 degrees. It was 25 degrees and overcast at 7am observation. The mountain received 1 inch of additional snow, bringing our total up to 9 inches. The wind has been howling, so be sure to be prepared for some deep drifts. The temperature is dropping quickly this morning, it is already down to 14 degrees and feels frigid in the wind. Be prepared for below zero windchills if you intend to summit! Enjoy the snow world! The wind has been fantastic for the past 24 hours. It was fitting to have such a spectacle on Super Bowl Sunday. There was constant action, a dance between the pine and fir branches and forces unseen, with no commercial breaks! If you closed your eyes, you could easily convince yourself that the persistent roar was a heavy summer storm by the seaside. The blowing snow imitated sand and all of the sudden I was on the coastline. I can not walk, but I am still traveling. In other news, LeConte Lodge 2015 calendars are now only $6.25! They are beautiful and worth every penny!

JP, do you really mean 'I can not walk'?, hope not. Liked both pictures and quote from Whitmam. Have a good day and stay warm.:)

I believe we passed you about an hour and a half from the top on this crazy windy day. I never made it all the way up... that mountain gave me a beating! But the power of that wind was something I will never forget. :-) Comments are closed.
