Cynthia Pyun It is Mono Lake, and this was the most snow I've encountered there! Often the Sierra Nevada intercepts nearly all of the moisture of many storms, but this week was one that reportedly delivered up to 9 feet of snow on the Sierra, and there was enough power in the storm to drive a fair amount of that moisture a few extra miles out into their rain shadow.
“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.” - Norman Maclean, "A River Runs Through It" #plusphotoextract

Awesome!
ReplyDeleteReminds me a lot of Tahoe, we get a lot of shore ice, too.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking it looked warm. The water's melted.
ReplyDeleteJeffrey Sullivan this could be Mono Lake with more snow than when we were there! Nice long curve :)
