Summer Snowfall

Summer Snowfall keeps Utah ski resort open for Fourth of July. Because of our amazing snow year and cooler temps and lingering snowfalls in the hills, Snowbird has announced it will stay open through the 4th.
Summer Snowfall in Many Areas of China Warns of Severe Injustice. It is true that everything that happens in this world has a cause. In Chinese history, the tale of the "Severe Injustice to Dou E and Snowing in June" has been told and passed down from old times until the present. [This is an old Chinese tale about a girl named Dou E who was framed for poisoning someone to death. A corrupt official who had accepted bribes sentenced her to death. Before the execution, she made an oath that it would snow in the hot summer of June for the injustice done to her. As expected, it really snowed.]
Summer Snowfalls have a large impact on the mass balance of midlatitude glaciers, because they simultaneously add mass to the glacier and reduce the amount of absorbed solar radiation. An automatic weather station (AWS) on the snout of Morteratschgletscher, Switzerland, registered a large summer snowfall event on 10–11 July 2000.
Summer Snowfall Campsis radicans, Vigorous climbing vine with pinnately compound foliage and clusters of 2-3" tubular orange flowers in summer. Compound foliage is edged with creamy white variegation. Tubular reddish orange flowers in summer.
Snowfall has been on the increase in parts of the United States and the world to record proportions in recent years even as summer snow and ice levels reach multi-decadal lows. The changes relate to natural cyclical changes in the Atlantic Ocean and atmosphere that favor both more tropical activity in summer and more snowfall in winters. Climatologists believe the current phase of the Atlantic cycle may last another decade or two. If this outlook is correct, we might expect both more big snows for years to come.
