Yosemite National Park is closed due to severe winter conditions, the National Park Service announced Saturday.
Snow blankets Yosemite National Park Feb. 23, 2023 as winter storm arrived in California. After days of fierce winds, toppled trees and downed wires, more than 120,000 California utility customers remained without electricity, according to PowerOutage.us. And Interstate 5 remained closed through the mountains north of Los Angeles due to heavy snow and ice in Tejon Pass.
The Weather Prediction Center of the National Weather Service forecast heavy snow over the Sierra Nevada through the weekend. An avalanche warning was issued for the backcountry around Lake Tahoe. Nearly 2 feet of new snow had fallen by Friday and up to another 5 feet was expected when another storm moves in with the potential for gale-force winds and high-intensity flurries Sunday, the weather service said.
