I’m in Monterey today on vacation with my wife and two granddaughters. The plan was to head to Yosemite Valley tomorrow for three days. So much for those plans, the f’n blizzard starts tonight! Eight inches of snow, 60 mph winds, 8 degrees. Crap global warming for the entirety of the three days.
That’s too bad. Sorry to hear that. We had several days in the 70s here in North Idaho week before last, then it reverted to normal and now going below normal with this arctic blast headed into the Northwest and then down the coast.
There is a less stressful way of getting into Yosemite Park. Take Highway 140. The highway doesn’t climb up and over like Highway 120, where tire chains is sometimes required. The city of Mariposa is the highpoint. Yosemite Valley Floor is 4,000 feet. The cold front moving in might cause snow on Valley Floor.
