Because your in either Idaho Montana or Wyoming.

I'm assuming you mean Mammoth Lakes, CA?  Usually they are, but this year we've had so much snow, I think Memorial Day is more likely.  Call the Visitors Bureau or the Rangers to find out for certain closer to 5/13.

The first major winter storm usually hits in November. The snow typically sticks in higher areas (e.g. badger pass ~6000ft or tioga pass 9000ft) from then on until April/May (sometimes longer than May in the real high country. The valley (4000ft) gets snow with most storms but it usually mainly melts - so it comes and goes a bit, depending of course on the overall snowpack/precipitation that year. Best possible time is to go into the valley in the tail end of a storm, as the weather clears the fresh snow covering everything is stunning. Of course, the timing is hard to pull off. Good luck.

I don't know for certain, but it's probably the changing season from winter to spring - as weather fronts alternate between warm and cold with greater frequency, there is simply more opportunity for the wind to claim any given day in March.  As the season turns more consistently warmer, the winds die down overall.

FIrst the temperature-It is extremely cold in the winter, and cool in the summer.  Then generally the wind-wind can play a major role, especially in mountainous tundra-also in mountainous tundra is the problem of UV radiation.

RC East is huge. Up north they already have snow on the mountain tops, I'm in central. Right now its nice. 50's just before the sun comes up and low to mid 80s during the day. Still hot down south. High 90s. In the central part we have a mild winter, or so we are told. It snow some but mostly just flurries. In the higher elevations along the border we get a lot more snow and with the wind in the mountains its supposed to suck.

In the spring and summer months when the weather patterns are unstable.  The second answer would be at night.

I understand it to mean, don't be fooled by May's seemingly milder weather. Don't start going out without jackets etc. Many people get sick in May because of this, I know because I am from Ireland and the weather can be very deceiving. So basically don't take off your coat till June....

Snow kicks a$$. Its fun. Just like some like the 80+ degree temps in the middle of winter others like the colder weather.

Right now, it's after 11 pm on Monday night. It's raining and it's 65 degrees. They're calling for thundershowers tonight & tomorrow. It's been a weird spring here, going from the low 30's at night to over 70 degrees in the daytime. Later on this week, they're calling for snow flurries in the northern part of my state (Wisconsin). How's that? <*)))><

Our snow is FINALLY GONE!! We have the same problem, one day you're in T-shirts and the next you are in a parka. Lately it's been consistant....sunny, but only about 35-40 degrees. Mid-Michigan area

Precipitation from the clouds, which hover around the top of the mountain, freezes due to the lower temperatures. And we have snow!

Tomorrow is my Mom's birthday, and we are also having a baby shower for my daughter, so it is going to be a very busy day! \n  Incidentally, up here in the mountains, it doesn't seem like spring at all! :(  Most of us will probably start celebrating spring Tuesday, when the weather is supposed to warm up!.
