Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Tioga Pass When the Snow Hit: Before and After

Steve C. asked me to post my before and after pictures from this weekend (Saturday), when I was in the Tioga Pass area. These pictures were taken just above Spuller Lake, looking across the Hall Nature Area toward Mt. Conness, elevation maybe 10,500 feet. It got worse then this, but a totally grey picture is not so interesting to look at it.

Before


After


This change in conditions happened in less than 10 minutes (though I had already encountered hail about 30 minutes earlier, and the clouds had been ... interesting). I took some video too, but posting that is beyond my capabilities.

You can say that the weather in the Sierras is dynamic.Rarely is it static. Thanks for the before and after shots.
