Question

how do the peaks of the tallest mountains have snow if they are above the clouds?

In:

Answer 1

Storms and cold.

Basically if the summit of a mountain is above the “cloud deck” there will still be times when there are storms or strong winds that will cause snow to either fall on the summit or be blown up towards the summit.

And then because it’s cold as balls at that altitude whatever snow does end up there tends to stay there for a relatively long time because it’s never hot enough for it to melt.
