Mono County Roads
CalTrans sent out the following message:
U.S. Highway 395 has been closed from Gorge Road just north of Bishop to the town of Bridgeport due to whiteout conditions and heavy snowfall. There is no estimated time of reopening. Keep an eye on https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ for updates on road conditions and more.
An hour later, Mono County Sheriff's Office sent out this:
The roads are closed. All of them. There is no alternate route, back way, or secret route. It's a blizzard people. You cannot see your hand in front of your face, let alone a snow stake to guide your way. Stay home. Or wherever you are if you aren't home (and if you're somewhere you shouldn't be, you'll have to sort that out with your significant other - we told you to make good choices).
I guess they are tired of rescuing stupid people...
