Historic snowfall means Yosemite will remain closed through weekend, perhaps longer

Yosemite National Park will remain closed through at least early next week — if not longer — as park officials continue to respond to historic snowfall that buried cabins and blocked roads, according to national park officials.

Officials said the park, which has been closed to the public since Feb. 25, could reopen as early as March 13, but called that a "best-case scenario" in a tweet, especially with another storm forecast to bring even more precipitation later this week.

The park saw record-breaking snowfall last week in the Yosemite Valley, with photos from across the park showing cabins buried by snow and doorways almost completely blocked by snowbanks.
