The higher you go in elevation, such as the mountains, the colder it is. This is due to the inverse relationship between temperature and pressure. Pressure decreases as you go up in the atmosphere, therefore the temperature decreases as well. This means that not only can it be below freezing in the mountains when it is quite warm below, allowing that snow to remain, but the length of the snow season is considerably longer in the mountains. It is cold enough to snow for a much larger part of the year, allowing snow to fall and accumulate for a long time. In many mountainous regions, by the time the snow begins to melt, there are many feet of it.
