Interesting to see that statistic....Not that I am surprised at all that there would be snow on top of the Mountain...I just wouldn't have thought that there would have been enough consistent Sept. Snow fall to create an average. Once you get up 3 or 4 thousand feet let alone to the top of Mount Washington you are in a different climate arena.... People here on the east coast seem to forget that.

I still often think about having a Snowball fight on Mount Rainer in July, about 1 mile up just short of the glacier.... My sister and I found a pocket of snow, and had at it.... Mountains, true Mountains, like Mount Washington, create their own unique climate, and anything is possible.
