You guys think Widows Tears could form again by Sunday?! It will be freaking cold in the Valley!

Is there enough flow right now in Yos or Truckee for anything to form?
Also does anyone know of anything forming up in the bay area? It's below freezing at night for the next few days. Supposedly something above Steven's Creek Reservoir formed back in 2000.

Widows Tears needs volume of melt water, not just cold. Typical set up is 4ft of snow on the rim, some warm clear weather to get things flowing, then a great cold snap...Great climb if you are ready when it forms!

It is a well known fact that the best ice climbing in California is in Canada. Buy your ticket and go North ice junkies.

Preston and I went ice climbing at June today, did two thin routes on the Roadside Wall. The ice was good, but thin. Carson Peak, Horsetail, and the other flows did not look so good at all, but Tatum looked decently climbable; at least it looked that way early this morning. Temps are rising...

The temps in Lee Vining look promising. Some days near freezing, some days in the teens.
Anybody have any recent pictures?

Went for a walk up Eagle Creek canyon today (Emerald Bay area).
Nothing is in.
Great hiking though, about 6" of snow on the ground and it feels like winter!
Cascade is in pretty bad shape too according to a friend who was there this morning. What is there on the left side is climbable but has a lot of snow on it. This is a little surprising as this was in decent shape for the past two weeks.
We certainly have the temps for ice but most places just don't have the required moisture.

This web site mentions "Crag Peak". Anyone has climbed on it and is willing to share beta or anyone know where the hell this Crag peak is? I didn't find it on summitpost...

Where is the ice at Lake Audrain? I've never been able to find it, but I've only looked once.
