I bet it's a gorgeous drive about now... Still open as of this morning.

Actually, I'm going to throw another date into the pot.... December 29th at 8:30 am.

I'll pick December 18th at 9 am. I'm thinking that this Alaska blast we're in for at the end of the week might do the trick but I'll choose the 18th because it's my nieces birthday.

We just drove to Tuolumne meadows Meadows today and there's not much snow at all! Camera was acting up while there but I did get some pictures at Tenaya Lake.

I have been keeping an eye on this cold blast from Alaska that is due to arrive Thursday. It would seem that little snow accumulation is expected, but the temperatures from weds night through to Saturday are extreme enough to freeze it up and close the pass. Through the weekend and into Monday things are expected to warm up again into the low 40F's during the day, not sure whether that will be enough though ! Could be that we are playing the waiting game again through the middle of next week !

Nice picture Utah and thanks for the 'eyes on' update.

Mark, you forgot my second guess - 12/14 at noon.

[Midwest Michael]

I guess I'll retake the next available date - which would seem to be 12/16, we'll say 10AM

Don't worry George, I got your back !

Dang ! I missed you. Apologies for leaving you out, but your prediction would have counted as it was identified in a post, as per the rules, and so would have glc's. Ultimately, anyone wishing to join in is responsible for making sure the date they wish to select is still available. If a date is duplicated and it turns out to be a winning date, the person who first 'claimed' it is declared the winner.

...That's why there is a TPP Sheriff for this feature, I see I missed a couple of the prognostications!
