Trace on Sept 8th which fell as small hail ( during a mixed precip event.)

There have been some rime ice accumulations off and on, but no, not snow.

Not yet.

From September 17th observer comments.

Although Fall is not my favorite season, or even perhaps my second favorite season, I do enjoy it quite a bit. Days on the summit like the last couple epitomize the reasons that I enjoy the season.

Early Sunday morning we saw our first measurable snowfall of the meteorological year (July to June for us) and a decent accumulation of glaze ice as well (at least for this time of year). By mid morning on Sunday, fog cleared off to reveal an icy and slightly snowy summit of Mount Washington contrasted by the slight twinge of color starting to show up in the valleys below. This is definitely one of my favorite sights to see on the mountain.
