    Default A change in the air.

    As we near the end of October there is a change to the weather which will close the Tioga pass on Sunday at 6pm. This a temporary closure due to the risk of weather disruption. On Monday snow showers are likely, and although not accumulating to much, the temperature plummets to a day time high of 39F and a night time low of 17F making for Icey conditions.

    Closing, depending on weather more than two weeks out, is always more of a guess to me than opening, which depends on Winter and Spring snowfall and to a lesser extent, Spring weather.

    My guess is Tuesday 11/26 at noon as I expect Tioga to close before US Thanksgiving and that leaves some room between my guess and previous ones.

    I see Sonora is still closed today while Yosemite website says all roads are open. I think Tioga may close with storm on Halloween, but it should re-open with sunnier weather predicted afterwards.

    I had not been on this website for a while and saw on https://www.roadtripamerica.com/foru...etition!/page8 that I said I would add some photos from May 2024 which I finally did.

    Default Quick update.

    The weather still looks very settled in Yosemite. The forecast predicts that snow is likely on Veterans day, but only a 20 percent chance there will be more to follow on Tuesday.
