Ha...even in the driest years, ice occurring from any type of precip lasts a long time on the valley floor. Chains for the boots are needed too. True and not even simply from precipitation. In fact for driving control snow is quite low on my list of concerns (getting stuck isn’t much more than an inconvenience) while right at the top isn’t anything to do with precipitation directly: it’s those melt off flows across the pavement on curves that freeze into black ice tilted skate slopes when the temperature drops below freezing at night. Nastiest road hazard imho. I always use snowchains with cross bars but even so...

Logistics wise, it has just become more difficult. Permits are now being required to park in the viewing area...300 spaces available each day. And no parking in the area that I normally go to. (Also southside drive will be converted to two way traffic.)
It took a big effort for me not to get a reservation for this year, but I don't believe that there will be water in the fall.
