Twelve Hour Difference

Twelve Hour Difference from 6am to 6pm
It is amazing how much things can change on the summit. Sunday night we recorded a peak gust of 123 mph and today winds are down to 15 mph. Another notable change to the summit today was the melting snow. In just 12 hours the summit went from winter wonderland to spring like conditions. Observer Ryan Knapp was able to capture the change from 6am to 6pm today. A twelve hour difference was all the summit needed to return to its prior state.
