Oh please. I’ve been snowed on in the Uintahs in summer numerous times over the last 25 years. There is nothing rare about summer snow in the Rockies. Maybe not usual but not rare.
4th July Leadville, Colorado….2 feet of snow..
Yeah, I was thinkin’ “rare” was NOT the right word to use too. When I went in for surgery a couple of years ago in June, when Mrs. rktman was headed down the next morning to see me she drove through snow flurries here in Reno. Supposedly there isn’t any month (over time) that it hasn’t snowed up at the lake. Unusual, yes. Rare, no.
I've camped up around Mirror Lake in early July, and woke up to snow and an ice-covered tent! You do not want to be camping in those parts unprepared...in any time of year!
