Yosemite NP has updated it's page and officially declared the Tioga Pass closed on November 1st for the winter. Unfortunately we have no winner for this contest and not even a dctpp. [Darn close Tioga pass Prognosticator]
The closest we got was RahRah who predicted November 6th way back at the beginning of August, unlucky !

A gorgeous view this morning:

Truly a beautiful view. I've mentioned this before (though not in this thread, I believe), but California is expecting El Nino this year. That might be good for the Falls, and it also may keep Tioga from opening too early.
Right now, the San Diego area has had a full day's worth of off-and-on rain. We love it, as it appears to be an easy, gentle rain. So far the mountains east of us are white-stuff-free, but we're keeping an eye on them due to travel plans after Christmas. But if Yosemite gets the type of rain/snow that we are expected to get down here, look forward to the Falls being beautiful through June!

Another gorgeous day in the back country of Yosemite:

Nice catch Mark, it's really good to see the snow returning like that !

Those of us further south are getting pounded -- by rain! The El Nino has arrived and announced his presence!

Look at it today!

With more significant snowfall predicted for Friday night through Saturday !
For anyone travelling to Yosemite it would be wise to check on road conditions, especially as the El Portal Road (continuation of Highway 140 into Yosemite Valley from El Portal) is closed due to rockfall at the present time.
