Looking for Conditions at Yosemite Upper Pines

Anyone recently been there? We have reservations for Upper Pines in the coming weeks and were wondeering what the conditions were. To be more specific, are the roads inside Upper Pines clear of snow? One year we went this time and had trouble getting into the campsite as they cleared the roads but pushed all the snow in the site to it's rear and it froze. When we arrived, the site length available was much shorter. They do an excellent job of clearing snow on the valley roads and those leading into the park. Yes, I have chains and have installed them once or twice. We try to avoid having to use them by waiting until later in the day when the roads have been plowed.
Should be an interesting experience with no shuttles, 2 of the 3 CG's closed along with Curry Village and most shops. Main Village market is open, but we come fully stocked. Should be an adventure!
  • Responses for the next six weeks will be mostly guesswork because of the chance of snow storms IMO.
