Wild about the open/closings of the Glacier Point road. It's actually been chilly this weekend in Las Vegas and usually it's closer to 115 degrees by this weekend.

Tioga Pass road opening -- my vote is June 17th at noon. My husband votes for June 24th at 10 am.
The Tioga pass has been part plowed across it's entire lenght. Olmsted is still an avalanche threat at this stage. Now the crews have to clear the entire width of the road, pull outs and side roads and clear debris/rock fall.
For any keen cyclists out there the road is open from Crane flat to Yosemite creek bridge !
A great shot of the crews from the Yosemite Web page.

So CAnative's husband might want to pick another date since I already have June 24th?Quote:

Ok -- I put in our guesses and best of luck to those who have those dates. I quickly went through the posts, think the following two dates are available, and consulted my husband. Official predictions -- June 18th at 10 am for me and June 23rd at noon for my husband.
Reservations made for Tuolumne Meadows in September -- road will surely be open by then :)
An unusual early summer rainstorm is moving across northern California. Temperatures are expected to drop late Sunday and the prospect of 4-6 inches of fresh snow is looking high for the Tioga Pass area....

I wore a jacket the other night -- here in Las Vegas. Normally by the 3rd of June we can count on it being 110 degrees F. at midnight! Plus, this is the windiest year in the last 12 for us. Current temperature at my office is a very pleasant -- almost cool -- 93 degrees F.
