Re: RGS #5 Stops At The Depot INSIDE The Lizard Head Snowsheds!

Despite all those gaps in the wood, the amount of snow blowing through is not that much, and most of what came in probably sublimated before it had a chance to melt and form ice. Remember the temperature has to get to 32F or above for snow to melt into water, so there are weeks during the winter when it doesn't get that warm at Lizard Head's elevation. I've been an observer of snow at high altitude, and just over the mountain or two from Lizard Head, for 46 years. I still have 4' of snow piled against the north side of my house that has little ice in it and it is now May 20. It won't melt out until after Memorial Day, and each day a bunch of it sublimates anyway, going directly to water vapor without melting into water.
