Hmm, all 3 were open last night around ~10 when I checked
(And I had gone through Sonora around 6:30)

All 3 are closed at the moment.
Must have gotten more snow overnight.

Tioga was closed when I filled up at Crane Flat around noon on Saturday, and it was snowing like mad.

If I'm reading the Caltrans site correctly, Sonora and Ebbetts are now open. Tioga still closed.

This morning, 7300ft atop Kingsbury Grade near the access road to Heavenly. (South Lake Tahoe, NV side)

No snow down in Carson Valley. Looks like the snowline came down to about 6k.

Here's the lake this morning:
