begins falling in early
October, ending by early May. Occasional periods of rainfall and temperatures in the 50s °F are common even in the coldest months due to the relatively southerly location of the summit (39 degrees N) allowing for mild above freezing air intrusions from the Gulf of Mexico. These warm rainy periods typically hold down snow accumulations on the ground and result in alternating periods of snow cover and bare ground. Snow pack usually reaches a peak depth of about three feet (0.91 meters) in late February. In persistently cold, snowy winters, snow can accumulate to 4 feet (1.2 m) or more in depth peaking into March, and melting by mid-April.

Temperatures on the summit are relatively cold, with monthly values averaging below freezing 4 months of the year. During arctic cold air outbreaks in mid-winter afternoon temperatures can stay below 0 °F (−18 °C) and fall to −25 °F (−32 °C) in the mornings. Such cold is usually

A group of admirers formed the "Porte Crayon
Memorial Society" in 1940. Upon learning of the 4,760-foot (1,451 m) promontory (as it was then measured) in the heart of the writer-illustrator's beloved highland terrain, they successfully lobbied to have it named in his honor. On July 5, 1940, a

Mount Porte Crayon remains one of West
Virginia's most inaccessible peaks, since it is far from the nearest trail, let alone a public road. A walk to the summit using the U.S. Forest Service's Flat Rock Run Trail or Roaring Plains Trail totals more than five miles and is a 2,500-foot (762 m)

A visit to the Nature
Conservancy's preserve, which is open to the public, involves a three-mile round-trip hike from the junction of the aforementioned trails along the Mount Porte Crayon Grade — a former railroad swath that now accommodates an unmarked and unmaintained trail onto the preserve.

Mount Porte Crayon is notorious for its inclement weather, rapidly changing conditions, and strong winds. The prevailing westerly winds are so strong, especially in winter, that they deform exposed red spruce trees, causing the trees to be one-sided with branches growing mostly on the east side.

Precipitation is plentiful, with the annual total estimated to be about 65 inches (1,700 mm) distributed well across all months. Snowfall is also plentiful, averaging about 170 inches (430 cm) a season. Unusually snowy winters can produce 275 inches (700 cm) or more. Snow usually
