The winter weather from the past several days has left the summit blanketed in a coating of rime ice and snow. Since last Wednesday, over 17" of new snowfall has been recorded on the summit, making for this beautiful view captured by weather observer Charlie P. once the clouds finally cleared up this morning.
Pictured: A rime ice-covered observatory tower illuminated by the rising sun with the mountain's shadow and full moon in the background.
