It looks cold and snowy at Tioga this morning.by Louis - General Discussion
They cancelled the waether statement for the Tahoe region. Looks like it's mostly headed for Yosemite.by Louis - General Discussion
Well, well...they have finally turned the lights off.by Louis - General Discussion
Hwy 4 over Ebbetts Pass re-opened at noon today.by Louis - General Discussion
I am expecting WINTER CLOSURE to show up soon for Tioga Road on the Caltrans site.by Louis - General Discussion
Looks like they bailed out of there in a hurry.by Louis - General Discussion
The Tioga Web Cam is working again and it's showing a blanket of snow up there. http://www.yosemite.org/vryos/TiogaCam.htmby Louis - General Discussion
The hard freeze of several nights in a row really did a number on the leaves in the Tahoe area. On Hwy 88 in Hope Valley today they are looking kinda bedraggled. Not much color left. I wonder if the same has happened in Lee Vining Canyon.by Louis - General Discussion
Vince, It's good to find someone with a taste for fine music. Also, I really liked your Ebbetts Pass Mooooovie.by Louis - General Discussion
It'll be two weeks before I can go to Lee Vining. Probably all be over by then.by Louis - General Discussion
We were on Hwy 108 Tuesday and Wednesday. The peaks had quite a bit of fresh snow and there was still evidence at the pass that the road had been plowed.by Louis - General Discussion

I'm going Hwy 108 tomorrow, stay overnight at Angels Camp, and back home over Hwy 4 on Wednesday. I'll let you know what those areas look like when I get back.by Louis - General Discussion

Maybe this storm and the cold temps will inspire the trees in Lee Vining Canyon to change colors.by Louis - General Discussion
Current radar is showing a big area of precip heading this way. http://www.intellicast.com/National/Radar/OneKm.aspx?location=USNV0103by Louis - General Discussion
They seem especially concerned about the wind up here. Asking people to secure patio and deck furniture and anything else that might blow away. Now if you saw one of those big deck umbrellas flying through the air in line with your head that would definitely qualify as "Drastic." : )by Louis - General Discussion
This forecast sounds more realistic than the one posted for Tahoe, which uses phrases such as "Drastic Change" and "Much Colder."by Louis - General Discussion
The one that turns off US395 is what I was referring to. They seem to have kept that road in the same condition as Bodie itself...a state of arrested decay.by Louis - General Discussion
It's been quite a few years since I was there. Is the unpaved part of the road still rough and full of potholes?by Louis - General Discussion
They seem to change their rules on a whim.by Louis - General Discussion
They sure don't waste any time closing things down for the season.by Louis - General Discussion
Hmmm...I guess that would be asking a lot.by Louis - General Discussion
Seems like all those days during the fire when the power was off could have been used to do this.by Louis - General Discussion
They have pushed their full containment to August 6th. That final 5% must be in an especially tough spot to deal with.by Louis - General Discussion
I notice the webcams are updating again. Looks clear of smoke at this time.by Louis - General Discussion
Good news... The 7 AM CAL FIRE update says the fire is now 80% contained.by Louis - General Discussion
I would think the bus company would simply switch their route to either Hwy 41 or Hwy 120, however, I suggest you contact them to be sure.by Louis - General Discussion
Fires...earthquakes...never a dull moment, eh? The wind is out of the north here on the south shore of Tahoe and a little cooler. The Firefighter Blog is operated by a retired fireman and he is posting reliable information and a good variety of maps. The URL is http://firefighterblog.blogspot.com/by Louis - General Discussion
I saw a report that says the road will be closed again at 9 AM Tuesday. No indication as to how long. I don't know how accurate it is.by Louis - General Discussion
