Not only will that create huge snowdrifts, that will blow trees down! I bet they will have a mess to clean up in the spring.
Whats going on ?
It looks like a beautiful day up on the pass right now with blue skies and just a dusting of snow on top of the peaks ! Snow depth reports are very patchy and 'all over the place' at the moment. The most recent report from the Meadows are a satellite report of 11 inches and the last computed report stating 49.5 inches ! I would tend to go with the satellite ! [No data from the east entry station]
No updates from the official site so the wait goes on !
Dabe.
The storms were called the 'pineapple express" and they have warmer temperatures and higher snow lines than arctic storms.
Confirmation it's closed for the season.
Yosemite National park released a statement on December 3 declaring Tioga Pass officially closed for the season. However they have not updated the official Opening and closing dates page as of now, so we are non the wiser on when it was officially last open to traffic.
I have asked them the question, so hopefully it will remind someone to update it soon !
Dave.
Date confirmed.
The little nudge may have worked, the closure date was confirmed and the opening/closures page has now been updated on the Yosemite site.
The winter closing date for 2012 is November 8 !!
I'm sorry to say there is no prize winner for this contest. The closest we got was myself, when I predicted November 2nd way back in May. [Hmm better double check !!]
Keep you eyes peeled, as it won't be long before we start thinking about the Spring 2013 Prognosticator.

[It worked. I actually just got a thanks from Yosemite for the reminder ! lol

Winter moments.
A video from Yosemite Nature notes series that gives an insight into this winter wonderland !
The Yosemite winter Rangers have arrived at the Meadows and have just issued the first report for this winter. They are reporting an average depth of 19inches. http://www.nps.gov/yose/blogs/tmconditions.htm
