Anyone been at the Leap recently? Any snow accumulation yet?

I was hoping to camp and climb there with some friends in a couple of weeks. At 7k feet, I'm wondering when Lovers Leap will be snowed in this year.

Drove by there last night in a complete white-out, but who knows what it'll be like in a couple weeks. On Friday, the face looked clear with some snow on the walk off.

Climbed Corrugation Corner on Saturday and was surprised by the amount of snow on the ground. The climb itself was dry, but the approach and descent were a little more difficult and slower than expected.

Climbed there Saturday and Sunday. Snow on the approach and decent trails, but the routes were totally dry. Had our pick of campsites.

There is a Caltrans webcam just up 50 at Twin Bridges so can get an idea from that. Right now, tons of snow and its snowing now down to 5,000 feet.

However, it can warm up for a few weeks this time of year and melt everything...

There is easily 8 inches in Sparks NV right now, so Im guessing the sierras are open for skiing, closed to climbing for a bit...
