March 2023 vs June 2019: The difference between this winter and a typical summer at the end of the State Natural Reserve boardwalk below County Park is pretty remarkable. And winter isn’t over yet—light snow is falling right now in Lee Vining! Photos by MLC staff Robbie Di Paolo and Elin Ljung.

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.
