These images show the conditions of State Route 178 in eastern Kern County. This road is currently closed from Kelso Valley Road to the junction with State Route 14 due to several jackknifed big rigs. Thanks to our Maintenance crews in Inyokern for the photos. #District9onDuty

#District9onDuty: It is the middle of June but we are still plowing snow in @Caltrans9. This shot was taken on State Route 203 just past the Mammoth Mountain resort.

On State Route 108 (Sonora Pass), maintenance crews have reached Upper Sardine Meadow. Here, the snow is between 5 to 7 feet deep. That might not sound like a lot, but as they near the Mono/Tuolumne County Line, they're encountering the heaviest snow they’ve seen this year.

If you're wondering what we mean when we say "whiteout conditions," this is what we mean. This is what our @Caltrans9 maintenance crews encountered overnight on U.S. 395.

People in Bishop: Wow, there is a lot of snow on the ground. People in June Lake: Hold my hot cocoa. This storm isn't close to being over. Caltrans crews are continuing to clear the road, but U.S. Hwy 395 remains closed for most of Mono County. Picture Credit: Randy Walker

On State Route 120 W, maintenance crews are within a few hundred yards of the gate to @YosemiteNPS. These snow blowers & plows are still encountering multiple feet of incredibly dense snow on the highway. For updates on snow removal within Yosemite, visit nps.gov/yose/planyourv…

On State Route 120 W to @YosemiteNPS crews have reached Wilson Curve. Elevation: ~9000’. As an excavator works a quarter mile ahead, clearing the top layers of snow from the highway, a loader tears down 10’ - 12’ walls of snow so it can be cleared from the road by a snowblower.
