exactly how it felt.….brrrrr
Hiked Philmont back in 1975. Took a winter campout trip up to Warriors Passage the previous winter. Sunny and 60 at the trailhead. Six inches of snow by the time we got to the top. Glad we were equipped.exactly how it felt.
about 20 yrs ago, late June, we were on the summit of Big Red Mtn (11,000 ft elevation) in Philmont NM and this storm came up on us, it started lightning and dropping these soft snowy balls. I literally thought this is how it ends for me. There was about 2 or 3 inches of this stuff called "graupel" on the groud after about 15 minutes or so. Anyways I am ok with just about any kind of precipitation after that.
My Dad sez graupel Is falling.Presently having snow/sleet mix in Knoxville. Ugh. This is February weather.
