Yosemite National Park Closes Tioga, Glacier Point Roads Due To Storm

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS / AP) -- Yosemite National Park says that Tioga and Glacier Point roads will close at 6:00 p.m. Friday as heavy snow is forecast in the park.

Ranger Cari Cobb said they are anticipating snow at 6,000 feet, with 6 to 15 inches accumulating above 8,000 feet by late Saturday morning.

Road crews will reassess the roads after the storm to decide if and when they can reopen. They typically close in November and open in May or June.
