With 2 to 4 more FEET of snow forecast above 6000 feet, there's no way they will try to get any of the passes open again this year except the ones maintained year-round.
SoCal is even getting it - chains required to get to Big Bear.

The Tioga has been declared closed for the season, the date being November 19.

Winter snows may be blanketing the Yosemite National Park high country, but we all know that Spring is still going to come... eventually.
So, now is the time to get your crystal ball or whatever other mystical devices you use for predictive behavior and make your best prognostication guess in the 11th running of this "contest". Click here for more details....
