Mount Washington on the 4th of June
The summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire was coated in nearly an inch of snow and rime ice earlier this week as winter weather continued during what some are calling "June-uary."
"Rime ice is not rare in June, but I wouldn't say it's common either. It's not abnormal to have it once or twice early in the month. Rime ice forms via a process known as deposition, the direct phase change from water vapor to ice crystals," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Brett Rossio.
On Tuesday morning, observers on Mount Washington reported that 0.9 of an inch of fresh snow had accumulated since Monday morning. In addition to the snow and ice, fierce winds were recorded. A 102-mph wind gust was reported Monday night. The mountain, with its peak reaching an altitude of 6,288 feet, is the tallest mountain in the northeastern United States and is notorious for experiencing wild weather.
