The Park Service has been doing a commendable job of getting the Longmire gate open ASAP this year.
With no snow overnight I have seen them open before 0700 and even as soon as 8:30 or 9:00 with a moderate overnight deposition (say 3 to 4 inches).  With 6 or 8 inches the seem to still be making 10:00 or 11:00 at the latest. In fact I don't recall a Sunday this year when they opened the gate after 11:00 even with a foot or more of freshies.
What's even better though is that they usually have the hotline recording up (360-569-2211, 1,1,2), by no later that 7:00, which will usually include expected gate opening time, and they seem to try very hard to under promise and over deliver on that forecast time. Occasionally they even tell you the snow deposition overnight on the road recording so you don't even need to switch to the weather recording to get the PS's version of that info.
So with the PS trying harder, the telemetry data and the (east) Paradise cams, we now have some pretty good data with which to make much more reliable decisions regarding access to Paradise.

No new last night, 14 ins the night before, opened around 7 a.m. this a.m. (I was just getting up, didn't get to the Nisqually Entrance till 8:30 ).
