    Default The hump not only returns -- look at the icicle!

    A little more snow than we've seen of late: (that brownish color is the upper point of Half Dome, just peeking above the snow hump line)

    Compare this view with the one taken on January 21st -- you can see that same point!

    Here's a view from the Ahawahnee Meadow about the same time:

    Most of the web cams located on mountain peaks around the Sierras are now covered with snow! Can't see anything but light through the crystals.

    And another shot taken right around 8:15 am -- as the morning light hits El Capitan:

    And check this out -- taken at 11 am PST -- There has rarely been a "ground level" to show the shadow of the web camera before!
