Wide view when you couldn't even see Whitney in the rain

I was hiking up to trail camp that day... we got hailed/snowed on pretty good just below Lone Pine lake that morning! Then it cleared up (mostly) =) That's crazy to see it from afar though!

The next day looked like a beautiful cloudless time. Did the storm accumulate any snow up there?

The next day was beautiful!! Very little wind and clear skies after that morning storm on Saturday blew off. The 'snow' was more hail (it looked like bean bag chair filling!) and did accumulate a little bit on the upper half of the switchbacks. But it was melting off where it was in the sun by the time we were coming down from the summit midday on Sunday.

With the weather coming in now though, I'm sure there will be much more accumulation in the next few days.
