Competition ! The 36th Tioga pass prognosticator. Winter closing.

[Southwest Dave]

There has been a winter storm warning issued for the area and I see Glacier point has been declared closed for the season. (Rather than temporary closure)

...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM PST
THURSDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations of six to
twelve inches above 9,000 feet. Additional snowfall three to six
inches from 8,000 feet to 9,000 feet. Winds gusting as high as
45 mph.

* WHERE...The Sierra Nevada from Yosemite to Tulare County for
elevations above 8,000 feet.

* WHEN...Until 10 AM PST Thursday morning.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. Patchy blowing snow
could significantly reduce visibility.

Yosemite has not yet updated the official Opening and closures page at all for 2023 so I might give them a nudge! It seems to be the case that Tioga pass closed on November 15 at 5pm and that member liam2k04 will be the Dctpp (Darn close Tioga pass prognosticator) with their prediction of November 14 at 6pm.
