premature termination dust

2008.07.24
New snow on the peaks in July? Unusual. Just a quick shot from our upstairs window.

Freezing levels touched the highest mountains and left what resembles termination dust. Termination dust refers to the light dusting of snow that falls upon the mountain peaks, usually in late August to mid-September.

This has been an unusually wet and cool summer. Love it.
