MAMMOTH LAKES, California — In Mammoth Lakes, California, snow is a normal occurrence, but this year they have blown past record high for snow fall. Snow is piled up, covering second story windows and turning homes into igloos — floor-to-ceiling windows into walls of an icy cave.
Clark Tapia, the owner of Old Faithful Property Management works to clear snow off homes. He has a group of 30 men working round the clock: “We’re going to be shoveling for months,” he said.Mammoth Lakes has received 337 inches of snow this season, surpassing historical highs for this time of year. Depending on where you are in the mountain, you can find six to nine feet of snow.
Our driver, Oscar, is equipped for the most severe winter weather with commercial grade tires, a shovel, and chains sitting in the back, ready if needed. As we made our way up the mountain, locals told us they have never seen this amount of snow starting at lower elevations, just a preview to what we would find at the top.
With temperatures below freezing, when the snow falls it doesn’t melt. As it continues to fall, the village is running out of places for the snow to go. You see mounds towering over street signs and entire buses trapped in the street. Cars at a local mechanic are completely lost under blankets of snow. People are seen blindly trying to carefully scoop away and uncover entire vehicles hidden underneath.

Claim of mammoth bones brings treasure hunters to NYC riverAsk people what you might find buried in the muck at the bottom of New York City's East River and they'd likely say “mob boss' before thinking of mammoth bones.
