NOAA is saying the upward forcing as it passes over here is going to be the strongest storm of the season. The saving grace is going to be the speed as it moves out which is going to keep acculations under a foot, but below temps and very strong winds are going to cause a lot of drifting on the roads and avy danger up high.

Yosemite Valley floor roads are R3 meaning EVERYTING has to have chains mounted. Wow. “Even those who like snow should be asking themselves, “Do I like it this much?” And if we may answer it for them, “No, you do not.” At the time of publishing this post, The Big Oak Flat Road (the extension of HWY 120 within the park) is closed. Meanwhile, both the El Portal Road (the extension of HWY 140 within the park) and Wawona Road (the extension of HWY 41 within the park) are at R3 conditions, meaning that tire chains are required on all vehicles, no exceptions. All roads within Yosemite Valley are also at R3, and additional closures are possible. Those who must travel to and from the park today should use HWY 140; however, we strongly discourage travel due to the severe winter conditions which are forecast to continue over the weekend and into next week. Please call our road status phoneline at 209/372-0200 (then press 1 and 1 again) for road conditions within the park. For conditions on the roads outside park boundaries, you can call Caltrans’s phone line at 1-800/427-7623 or visit roads.dot.ca.gov.

Sierra snow is looking good. Excellent news! So far most of the West looks good. But the next two months have to keep up. We get most of our snow around March or April. Snotel Basin Maps

I just did a road test of the new snow packs in the US West. Managed to squeeze between storms and drive SF to Seattle without ever needing chains. Well, except I should have had chains when leaving my friends’ house in Ashland. But we got it back under control and made it to cleared roads.

Big spring snowstorm blowing into Wyoming today through Wednesday. Up to 33 inches in the yellow portions. Extends from the Uintas, across the Wind Rivers, Laramie Mtns, Bighorns, and Black Hills and from there into North Dakota. What fun!!! or is that, What fun???

I'm sure some Californians have a lot more, but it's been a snowy year in the Beartooth foothills of Montana. March: in like a lion, out like a sabertooth! And we've gotten over a foot more this morning. Here's the view from the backdoor of my shop building:
