Mount Washington received its first inch of snow
The first inch of snow on Mount Washington usually appears in early to mid-October. According to historical data from the Mount Washington Observatory, snow can fall as early as late September, but the first measurable inch often arrives by the second week of October. This year, however, the summit saw its first inch of snow on the night of October 20–21, which was later than usual. Typically, the average snowfall for October is around 19 inches.
