Assuming it dumps 10" by Weds, any guess on whether Tioga pass would be open on Friday?

Inches of QPF moisture equates to feet, not inches in snow.
What do you think!

I misunderstood the units. I think my new ice tools will be staying on the shelf, and if I'm lucky I'll be climbing in the Valley.

Looks like its time to scrape the storage wax and fine tune the edges on the boards!

Melor cometh!
Snow levels will be high at 9k or 10k, however above those levels it will be deep, wet, and dangerous. I'm expecting we'll be reading in the news post storm about a usual few that were oblivious to the forecast and get caught up high. But with some optimism in this Internet age, lets hope everyone stays away.

So, will Tioga Pass Rd be closed indefinitely or will it reopen by next weekend?
