Happy weekend from #MonoLake, where the snow reaches all the way to the lakeshore and is piled high on the tufa towers! It’s a beautiful sight. Photo by Robbie Di Paolo, Mono Lake Committee Restoration Field Technician.

“If DWP won’t voluntarily cooperate in finding a way to protect #MonoLake, then the State Water Board needs to step up and save Mono Lake—again.” Commentary by Martha Davis for CalMatters calling for a pause in water diversions to LA. 📸 iStock.

Here’s a glimpse of some of the #avalanche control work that Caltrans has been doing in order to get Highway 395 open again north of Lee Vining. This avalanche is the result of a controlled release from the Gazex avalanche control system. Caltrans uses this system installed high above the highway to mitigate avalanche hazards, and on March 12 they deliberately triggered additional avalanches after the large atmospheric river on March 9-11 brought even more heavy, wet snow to the area. There is no estimated opening date for the highway yet. Photo courtesy of Sally Miller, obtained using a telephoto lens well away from the avalanche zone.

The Eastern Sierra community has been busily preparing for the next round of atmospheric river storms. We've been shoveling roofs, setting up sand bags, and clearing as much ice and snow as possible. Some structural damage has already happened due to the weight of the snowpack (pictured), and the incoming rain will make the snow even heavier. Please do not plan to travel to the Mono Basin at this time. Mono County is in a state of emergency and many roads are closed. #CAwx

Here are a few glimpses of this week's historic snowfall in Lee Vining. Please do not plan to travel to the Mono Basin right now. All of the highways are closed due to avalanches and historic snowfall. Our Info Center & Bookstore will also be closed as long as Hwy 395 is closed. Feel free to reach out to us anytime by email at info@monolake.org or by calling us at (760) 647-6595.

On Wednesday the State Water Board held a public workshop in response to our request that the Board take emergency action due to Mono Lake’s perilous low level. The five-hour workshop, which was attended by 365 people, added up to a strong case for the Board to initiate the hearing process necessary to direct more water to Mono Lake.
