Additional snowfall is forecast for the west through the next 24 hours, with up to 2 feet of snow possible in Colorado, and additional 6 to 12 inches is still possible for the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Same situation as when I was out there in June, for YFO...

Yep it's winter up there. We had over five inches of rain yesterday. No more fire season this year

Ummm. do you not have snow removal equipment?

It's California LOL

Well... look at it this way. If they get a ton of snow again this winter, then maybe (just MAYBE) you've got a chance to experience Yosemite next year better than we experienced it this year.

Wait.... strike that. NOTHING will EVER be better than that. Maybe just as good, but not better......

Snow season is starting out well...let's hope it continues all winter!

North Cascades is already closed up in the these parts. Gonna be a loooong time 'til May.

Yeh, they have some. Ever spend any time in the western mountains?

a little peek at what those snowplows were up against this last spring on the Tioga Pass--the back door into Yosemite. Going to the Sun Road in Glacier N.P. has the same kinds of issues every year, often well into summer. Ditto the Great Beartooth Highway in WY and MT, and quite a few others.
Thanks for the look up the hill Jeff. Maybe I'll see you up that way come June. Or July.

The first time is always the best...

Wait... strike that...

The first time at YOSEMITE is always the best... B)

Thanks for the link to the video of Tioga Pass snow clearing. I've taken rt 120 (Tioga Pass) many times when heading east. I had no idea the Pass got that much snow. Many do not realize the elevation is 9900 ft at the east gate.

It's 35 degree and snowing on Tioga right now

Snow baby snow!! The more the better. Hopefully the drought will be behind us and the forest fires will be extinguished.

Getting real now. Ebbetts and Tioga Pass plus Glacier Point in Yosemite are closed for the winter.

Probably PWI, too.

 

[SacramentoMike]

And too damn cheap to spend $399 a year so he can post joke-ass pictures on the internets.

What a jerk.
