Yosemite National Park — no stranger to snow — saw up to 15 feet of it, forcing an indefinite closure as park crews work to restore critical services.
The park, which is located in the Sierra Nevada in central California, was not immune to the rare, heavy winter storms that walloped the West Coast last week. The Yosemite Valley measured 40 inches of snow on Tuesday — surpassing the previous record of 36 inches set in 1969, the Los Angeles Times reported.
