Yesterday morning, the west half of Mono Lake was blanketed in fog, clouds, and snow. Yes, snow—lake-effect snow! In Lee Vining we measured three inches of new snow (and 1–2 inches new were reported in Mono City), adding to the three inches measured Wednesday morning, for a total of six inches on the ground!
According to Mammoth Lakes weather man Howard Sheckter, the Mono Basin was the only place in California that reported snow Wednesday night. Below are a few webcam shots from around Mono County documenting the phenomenon, as well as some graphs from our weather station in Lee Vining.
