Unseasonable cold temperatures brought rare snowfall to the Sierra Nevada mountains in California over the weekend, with around 3 inches of snow accumulating in the area. Despite the unexpected weather, temperatures are expected to rise on Sunday, reaching into the 70s in some areas. The Madera County Sheriff’s Office posted a video of the snowfall in Eastern Madera County, urging caution for travelers in the region.
The snowfall in August was due to a cold system from the Gulf of Alaska, which first brought snow to Mount Rainier in Washington before moving south to California. While rare, this snow event serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Residents and visitors are advised to be prepared for chilly weather if planning to travel to the area.
