I looked at the historical weather radar at the Piper Air Safety Site which has a link to NOAA historicals and the range that peak is in was getting snow and periods of rain and snow all day that day. Radar Data Map | GIS Maps | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) (note: Link goes to current radar - you can adjust the date on the left of the screen. Time is in coordinated universal time at the time you open the link, just scroll back a few hours to see what the weather would have been earlier in the day.)
