YosemiteBlog.com | Snow in Yosemite in August? Grab Your Camera
The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Weather Alert for the central Sierra (including Yosemite). An unseasonable low pressure is moving in over Central California and bringing with it some wild weather. Thunderstorms are expected for the foothills and Central Valley along with snow at higher elevations down to 8500 feet. If you’re going to Tuolumne Meadows or Tioga Pass tomorrow take tire chains, warm clothes and a camera. I’ve never seen it snow in August in my lifetime.
