Yosemite Valley — the most popular part of Yosemite National Park — received about 25 inches of snow. Winds hit 50 to 60 miles per hour.
Yosemite National Park partly reopened on Sunday after a blizzard that brought as much as 45 inches of snow in some areas and high winds that toppled trees. The park reopened around noon, with officials urging visitors to certain campsites: 'Be prepared for winter camping .' Weather officials say the likelihood of another closure in the next week is low.
' 'A 50- to 60-mile-an-hour wind was actually strong enough to knock down some of the dead trees that Yosemite has right now,' Molina said. 'The public was kept out because, as the storm was moving through ... they didn't want anyone in the park to get hurt.' Although weather officials are expecting clearer conditions on Monday, they are also anticipating more precipitation on Tuesday. From 3 to 6 inches of additional snow is expected that day.
