    Possibility of snow in Yosemite Valley!

    The snow level is supposed to be going down to 500' which should make Yosemite valley nice and white. I've got 8 8x10 holders loaded with FP-4+ just sitting here looking at me, my Nationhal Parks pass is burning a hole in my wallet and the tire chains are in the truck. I think tomorrow I may to take off as a "mental health day"

    Cheers!

    Have fun, John.

    I'd e-mail you my snow shoes, but they don't seem to fit in the slot on this darned computer.

    Well the storms have moved in here as well. Those who have never seen Zion National park in snow would be in for a real treat. We are supposed to get heavy snows for the next three days.

    I am jealous John. School starts again today - No Yosemite for me until summer.

    The valley is beautiful after a new snow.

    Have a great time.

    John I would check but I can ell you it has been very dry lately but very cold up here. I have had no snow this year and it is dry. There is hardly any snow at all in the valley.

    Check out;

    http://www.yosemite.org/vryos/

    It will keep you up to date.

    The passes have snow but they are closed and you cannot get access.

    Also be careful as the rods are extremely icy especially up near cranes flat. If you are coming in from the back side, Merced you should be ok.
