California is experiencing a summer like no other, marked by a startling combination of wildfires and unexpected snowfall. An unusually cold weather system from the Gulf of Alaska swept along the West Coast on Saturday, bringing snow to mountainous regions in California and the Pacific Northwest. The sudden chill interrupted the typical summer heat, leaving residents and authorities scrambling to adapt to the abrupt change.
The snowfall prompted the closure of part of a highway that runs through a national park, causing disruptions for travelers and raising concerns about road safety. Meanwhile, other parts of the state continue to grapple with raging wildfires, creating a stark contrast between fire and ice within the same season.
