The storm that hit on Friday night dropped enough snow to close Sonora Pass (hwy 108),  Ebbetts Pass (hwy 4), and Monitor Pass (hwy 89)  in California.

Tioga Pass (hwy 120) may not have closed and is certainly open as of this writing.

Donner Pass (hwy 80) was closed for a while last night.  CHP reported up to 2″ of snow per hour at times last night.

Squaw Valley and Mammoth ski resorts are still open in California.  Squaw saw 4″ of new snow last night and Mammoth saw 0″.
