Looks like Monitor and Ebbetts are also closed now.

Anyone care to hazard a guess if it'll open up Thursday 11/11?

I wouldn't count on it. It dumped lots o snow.

There's some snow showing on the Mill Creek webcam too.

The snow sensors at both Tuolumne Meadows and Dana Meadows both recorded about 12" of snow.
White Fang Wolf showed about 7".

They closed GP road too.

For fun... here's a capture of the Sentinel webcam from today:

Anyone can sign up to see the Mill Creek cam on the Mono Lake site, "members" means just members of the site, not of the Mono Lake Committee.

Tioga Road might open by the end of the week: http://www.mymotherlode.com/news/local/1171625/Mother-Lode-Passes-Update.html

Hm, crossing fingers that the long term forecast is correct and it's gonna be nice through next week. Would be great if it melted out for us to get over it the weekend before Thanksgiving and save a few hours on the northern route to DV.

Snow is holding longer than I expected... looks like prob. need the gaiters this weekend...

It's getting close.... I predicted early December for closing the pass for the winter.
