Little snowfall to the Solstice

The 'short rains' typically bring snowcover to the summit crater by the Solstice, but not this December. One event during the second week resulted in ~10 cm of accumulation on the glacier. This was followed by drier weather, so quite likely the crater is now largely snowfree. Any first-hand observations from the summit during the holidays are welcome!
