Do Not Enter: Signs of the times

Taken on the Stoneman Meadow road, Jan 22, 2010. For the first time in the five (almost) years I’ve been here, Yosemite was closed to incoming traffic due to tree hazards in Yosemite Valley.

Unconfirmed reports that Highway 140 is open to incoming traffic as of now. Best source of information on road closures and conditions is 1-209-372-0200. Be prepared–bring food, water, warm clothing and blankets, and snow chains.

Currently, NOAA is predicting a 10% chance of snow today–but a quick glance out my window makes me think it’s going to snow shortly. That can change.

It’s a deadly beauty, folks. Be careful out there.
