2017: A Year in Review
2018-01-15 11:13:40.000 – Tom Padham, Weather Observer/Education Specialist
Most memorable to me was an epic May snowstorm. Snow started on the 13th and fell heavily all day for Mother’s Day, May 14th. 22.8” fell in just 24 hours, with a 33.3″ storm-total breaking the all-time May snowstorm record over our 85-year history. The snow also fell with relatively light winds, making for huge drifts on the summit and lots of fun outside!
