CalTrans and the CHP have been clients of mine, and I can vouch for snow when you would not expect it in some flatter, lower parts of the USA.

Check CalTrans website for chain control conditions and maps, etc. here.
Thanks for the link, but that is only for district 3, I need district 6 and 10 where I couldn't find it on the site.

Why can't Caltran put up an interactive map of where on earth those signs are?

I saw in Walmart.com that snow tires can't be returned even though it was unused.

The thing is that I'm not trying to go onto Tioga Road, I was only thinking about saying in the Valley which was like max 5000 ft. I was in Grand Canyon last Feb with snow storm and I was driving a Chevy Malibu from LAX without any problem.

I live in Sweden and this chain thing is so foreign to me. I think I'll go to Yosemite some other times.

I really hope that I'll be able to see some mountain and big sequoia tomorrow.
