    Default Clouds are Clearing right now

    It is sleeting in the valley floor right now.

    And snow is coming down on the lower slopes (where the webcam for El Capitan is positioned.)

    Look at the live shots right now! Lots of LARGE birds in the valley floor camera and clouds are clearing

    Default The waiting game.

    Both roads are still closed and there are snow showers forecast throughout the second half of the week. It certainly doesn't look enough to call a Seasonal closure just yet, but it doesn't seem like Tioga pass is going to be open any time soon, if at all!

    Default Incoming heavy snow.

    With heavy snow possible from Friday, through the weekend and beyond, this is starting to look very much like this could be it for the season. Maybe we will see the return of the 'Hump' on the Webcam image by the beginning of next week!

    Default Pretty lovely right now

    I know that that nearly 6 feet of snow is supposed to reach the northern Sierra by tomorrow night, but look how gorgeous it is right now!

    And no humps yet!

  6. Default Closed for the season

    Per Yosemite National Park's website, the status of Tioga and Glacier Point Roads has been updated to "closed for the winter." I believe this would put the closing date/time as November 11 at 2:30 pm.

    Sounds likely. Now, Sheriff Dave has to make his "semi-official declaration."

    Wow, all of the Yosemite web cams seem to be offline.

    Default The webcams are back.

    The webcams are back.

    Where the heck is this massive Cyclone Bomb of snow that is supposed to be here now?

    Default More White stuff on the way!

    As liam2k04 mentioned above, both the Tioga pass and Glacier point road are closed for the season, and it appears that they both closed on November 11 @2:30pm. We will wait and see if we get an official verdict for now, but I have noted that the Official Opening and closing page on the Yosemite website hasn't updated the 2024 Spring opening yet!

    Looking at the weather forecast and seeing what is coming over the next few days I can see why they called it! There is an Urgent weather winter weather message in force.
