This is good for sure, especially for Glacier Point :





Plowing Update





Tioga Road progress May 15



Great progress today. The crews are now at Yosemite Creek Campground. They were able to plow 3.3 miles. The average snow depth is now down to an average of 5 feet. Tuesday, May 16 they start going up Yosemite Creek grade. This will be a slower process and will be entering the Yose Creek avalanche zone.

Man it%26#39;s unbelievable hot these days. We had no spring. We went from raining and snowing to hot hot hot.




Suzie _ oddly enough here in South Mississippi we went from 90 degree temperatures in April to a high the past few days this week of 75 degrees with lows in the mid 40%26#39;s at night. Very unusual for May down here.
