16 Aug 2008 - August Snow

During the night we had a winter storm roll through Summit County. At about 4:30AM it was thunder and lighting and raining really hard at our place. When we got up this morning it cleared and I was able to take a couple photos before the clouds covered the mountains. Thought that this was a great photo showing the green mountain side with a dusting of snow. Click on the photo to see a larger view.

Yesterday around 11:30AM, the I-70 west bound lanes were closed at the Tunnel due to heavy snow and a 11 car accident.

Hopefully winter is not here to stay.

This is a photo of Mt. Royal and Peak 1 just behind Frisco near I-70. We hiked almost to the top of Peak 1 on Thursday.








Sun came out so I took a couple more photos before the snow melts.
