Because the snow over Sonora Pass is so deep, @Caltrans9 maintenance crews are using a snow cat to push the snow from above to the road below where the snow blowers can clear it from the highway. This method reduces the snow depth, allowing the snow blowers to push through.

And this isn't even accounting for today's storm.
