Snowing in August on Colorado’s Monarch Pass

......................................................................................................................................................................

• it’s kinda snowy up there! And the pics are from Aug. 3. That’s in the summer.

Brad Shilling lives in Gunnison and took the photos en route to the seasonal state swim championship in Lamar. When they got to the top of the pass, Shilling says rain turned into freezing hail, and then pea-sized hail.

Other cars started to fishtail and lose control in what he described as “slush-snow-rain.”
