This morning we have had rain, hail and even snow. I know it’s Memorial Day weekend, and it’s supposed to be nice outside. We could have a repeat of 2010…remember when they closed the pass in June? It’s only May, but still…
Mymotherlode reports:
Two Mother Lode mountain passes are closed due to the changing weather conditions.
Because of the winter-like weather, Highway 108 Sonora Pass is now closed at Kennedy Meadows, and Highway 4 Ebbetts Pass is closed at the Mount Reba turnoff. Caltrans says it was done primarily as a precautionary measure.
There is a weather advisory until 6:00 p.m. We are expecting high winds and we could get as much a 8 inches of snow before it’s done!
Here’s a video I took this morning.
