For the second time this week, the summit of Pikes Peak was covered by snow on Wednesday. The season's first visible snow on the peak was on Sunday.

At the summit, a high of 39 is predicted Wednesday with an 80 percent chance of snow overnight Thursday, the National Weather Service in Pueblo reported. Three to 5 inches of snow is expected on the mountain.

Around 1:30 p.m., an employee at the Summit House said there appeared to be less than a half-inch of snow, but enough to cover the ground.
