“While it’s rare to see snow this time of year, it’s a reminder of the unpredictable nature of our beautiful Sierra Nevada. If you’re planning to visit, please drive carefully and be prepared for the chilly weather,” according to the Madera County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.

Snow was also recorded at the top of The Summit at Mammoth Mountain, which is 11,053 feet.
