And remember:  It's JUNE, late SPRING.  We need to be reminding Mother Nature about this little bit of information.  :)

Sonora, CA-- 

Due to another wet weekend, two area mountain passes will remain closed. 

That's according to Caltrans Spokesperson Chantel Miller who says the closure of Highway 108 Sonora Pass and Highway 4 Ebbetts Pass will be in effect until Monday when maintenance crews can reassess the roads.

My sister-in-law, from Phillipsburg, New Jersey, visited the fabled 'sunny California' the last week in May.  We drove up to the pass on the 26th, the day after Sonora Pass opened 'for the season'......   Turned out that is was just a few days before it was re-closed.  We did experience light snow while up there!

The National Weather Service says that Saturday, a quarter to three quarters of an inch of rain is expected in the Sierra Nevada.

On Sunday, an additional quarter to three quarters of an inch of rain is likely in both the Motherlode and the Sierra Nevada. The possibility of showers will also continue on Monday.

Snow levels will remain above 7500 feet with several inches of accumulation expected on Sunday.

Highway 120 Tioga Pass has still not opened for the summer season.


Enjoy your weekend...............
