This is how un noteworthy this is and how Cambium exagerates everything to a ginormous extent.

It's in California; there's no comparison. 10000 feet has an average high of 65f. I wasn't sure if snow has been recorded there in July; trying to argue it's not noteworthy is really dumb.

I saw a cool movie called "Wild" with Reese Witherspoon. She started her hike at the Mexican border and hiked to the Canadian border on the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). She wasn't too prepared in the beginning. and came across some interesting stuff along the way and then about central CA she came across the snow. Pretty good movie. Witherspoon's WILD movie, featuring the Pacific Crest Trail, explores the transformative power of wilderness | Wilderness.org

are you seriously telling me it's below freezing during the day at 2,000 feet in the summer?

Just no. I'm talking about the freezing level not the glacier point.

Why are you comparing your location to central California?

10,000 feet is not low at all..

It's low for falling snow for there in July. Though it doesn't really get much of any precipitation in the summer there.

Checked; average snowfall for one July station is 0.4 inches so not completely unusual

Summers in Tierra del Fuego are colder than NI. Averages in January are 15 C/5 C and maybe their lapse rate is higher?

Anything to try and make NI look like Vostok Station's colder cousin.
