		<description><![CDATA[After an average fall, precipitation-wise, we recorded double the average December precipitation in Lee Vining. Between October 1st and the end of December, we have measured more snow (34.5&#8243;) and precipitation (6.5&#8243;) than during all of last winter! This represents about 50% of the average annual total. For years with similar wet Decembers (1992, 1996, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t experienced poconip, or ice fog, at Mono Lake, I recommend it. It usually happens when it&#8217;s sunny in most other parts of the Eastern Sierra, and the ground is frozen or snow-covered. The fog can be quite thick, and it is very chilly inside the fog layer&#8212;keeping temperatures below freezing all day. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We missed winter last year. There was little snow in the Mono Basin during the 2011/2012 season, and sometimes you forgot that it was winter. Hikers freely roamed the high country in December 2011, and Tioga Pass remained open well into January 2012. One year later: a week&#8217;s worth of winter storms have nearly erased our [...]]]></description>
