Who said summer in California is all about sunshine and beaches? 🌞🏖️ This year, the Golden State is flipping the script with a mix of wildfires and… snow! Yep, you read that right! ❄️
On Saturday, an unusually cold weather system sweeping down from the Gulf of Alaska crashed the summer party along the West Coast. The result? Snow-covered mountains in California and the Pacific Northwest! 🏔️🌨️
The surprise snowfall was so intense that it led to the closure of part of a highway running through a national park. Talk about nature throwing a curveball! 🚧🌲
Meanwhile, other parts of California are still grappling with raging wildfires. The stark contrast between blazing fires and chilly snowstorms all in the same season has left residents and visitors scratching their heads. 🤔🔥❄️
Is this the new normal for California summers? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure—Mother Nature sure keeps us on our toes! 🌎❤️
