1st Yosemite Winter Storm 2011

The first snows have fallen in the midelevation Sierra Nevada. The top of the cliff is about 7000 feet. Yosemite Falls is the tallest in North America - what you are seeing is only the top of the fall.

Here are a couple of my office pics. A little chilly for breaking rock outside - high today is not even 60.
