Snow covered trees against a clear blue sky.

Mono Lake Moment: New snow on trees

Today’s Mono Lake Moment shows off last night’s fresh snow stuck to the thin branches of the trees in town, creating a new winter wonderland look. These extra two and a half inches helped to refresh the sparkle and freshness of our leftover snow from the storm two weeks ago. This new snow has a higher water content than the relatively dry storm in January, and the snow therefore sticks better to the trees and shrubs.
