Tyler Penland Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Was hoping for a little more snow/ice up on Grandfather but it's pretty regardless. Had a dusting of snow along the Parkway from Beacon Heights to 181 and back towards Banner Elk. 29 on the Parkway was the lowest the car thermometer got on my trip.

calculus1 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hiked to top of Mt. Rogers, VA, today. Left the parking lot at Elk Garden at 10 AM and 31 F on the car thermometer. The wind was ripping. Once we got in the trees on the AT, it wasn't too bad, though. Beautiful clear blue sky and skiff of snow everywhere. Maybe an inch at the top. The rime ice was impressive too. We did 9.9 miles in total, according to Gaia GPS. Now that was a perfect May 9! Here are a few pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we dropped down in the 20’s at all this cold snap, no frost either that I saw and I know we hit at least 32 (probably lower) a couple different nights. Sheltered in the trees and a slight breeze helped on both accounts I think. Plus it seemed there was a bit of an inversion some we were in between the valley and top of the ridge line.
