Yosemite National Park, which has been closed for over a week due to overwhelming snowfall, will remain that way through Sunday and possibly even longer, the park announced Monday.
The park said yet another storm system barreling toward California is the reason for extending the closure.
Reopening on Monday, March 13, would be a "best-case scenario," the park said.
"Conditions will be evaluated on a daily basis and the park will provide an update early next week," the park said in a statement. "As park crews continue snow removal operations, employee safety remains the top priority. We have received significant snowfall over the last two weeks."
