4 to 6 inches won't close the pass for the season, but I'd bet it will be closed for a couple days.
lets throw in a guess for Dec. 4, at noon.
YNP website currently lists road as closed.
Snowing right now in Yosemite. A large, mass of artic air is sweeping into California this weekend. Low temps and ice....

I doubt it - they aren't expecting much accumulation and it's supposed to get warm again next week. I'm betting it's back open by Wednesday.
Fresh snow:

Looking pretty wet and deep to to me!

It's clearing but overnight temperatures of 3F [-16C] and much colder with wind chill factors are expected over the next couple of nights, plus possible snow showers returning again on Thursday through to Saturday up on the pass could make things interesting ! No data from the east kiosk, but there is a reported 7 inches of snow depth in the Meadows.
I'm gonna throw another dart. A special date for me and the 'Mrs' is December 2nd so I'm going with that at 4pm.
Well George was right, it's melting fast and furious up there. Look at the link to the current Web cam!

I better get a guess in.
November 27 at 5pm.
The sun is out, but with overnight lows not getting above 20f and the possibility of snow showers forecast for Thursday through Monday who knows ? The road status is 'Closed' at this moment [probably due to ice] and where I am reasonably confident it will open again before the weekend, [hence the December guess] we all know that unsettled weather followed by a hefty storm and suddenly it's 'Game over'.
Don't leave it too long folks !!
