We live in the mountains of the Alaska Range. We have snow from September until at least May. Our winters aren't overly cold but very snowy, normally not colder than -18°C, but some times it will be -30°C. Right now we have over a meter of snow on the ground. Our summers are cool, with highs rarely over 20°C. North of us in Fairbanks, winter can be extremely cold with temperatures falling to -50°C or sometimes even colder. Summer can hit 37°C in Fairbanks.
Here's an image of our front yard from a few years ago. This time of the year, sun does not hit these mountains, as it is now rising in the SSE, and setting in the SSW and is very low in the sky. Currently we are losing 5 minutes of daylight/day. The second image is sunrise today at 10 am, where it is rising behind the mountains.
