Yosemite have now updated the Tioga Pass Opening and closing date page and confirmed the pass closed on November 20th for this season.
That means we have a new Tioga Pass Prognosticator Champion and it's RTA's very own Mark Sedenquist !
Congratulations Mark it's been a long time coming ! ... and don't forget to post your POF (Proof of gas) photo. Haha !
Dave.
That's pretty amazing. Thanks one and all.
Now, let's see to post a POG, that would mean I would have to issue myself a check, eh?
I will find a way to get a memorable photo, that's for sure.
Thanks again,
Mark
New storm on it's way -- going to drop alot of snow tonight.

The "HUMP" is back. Any guesses on how tall this will be tomorrow?
Wow ! That humps grown already ! I had a look a few days ago and the hump was barely visible in the right hand corner. The weather forecast suggests the hump will make those trees immediately behind it disappear !
From the weather centre. White Wolf area.(Elev. 8182 ft)
Up to 40 inches possible in the next 24 hours or so !Quote:
Tonight Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 25. Windy, with a south wind 25 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 25 to 31 inches possible.
Thursday Snow showers. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 38. Breezy, with a west southwest wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.
Yeah, it would be a good time to be hibernating, if one were up there!
One of the trees is "gone" as predicted by Southwest Dave:

The hump hasn't grown as much as I expected it would overnight. But it certainly looks chilly and frosty!

...Actually, it doesn't look like the hump grew in height at all. Must have been a snow shadow on this ridge...
Pretty day in the high Sierra!

Another 12 inches of fresh snow is possible through Sunday up on the high ground and then it's set to clear again. There is 4 feet of snow depth reported in Tuolumne Meadows at present.
Dave.
Dramatic views of the Yosemite high country today!
