The road is clear and dry up to Beverly Campground and I got 3.1 miles further before the road was blocked by snow, about .4 miles before the fork for NF 9737 and 1 ¾ miles before the trailhead. No sign of any tree blockage and it looked like the road had been plowed or cleared up to Beverly Campground.
I didn’t venture too far down the road but the snow patches seemed to be intermittent; who knows what next week might bring. The temperature was mid-70’s and the snow was slushy/mushy; however it was about a foot deep and there is the potential to high-center or side-slip.
Please do not attempt to bypass the snow on the shoulder. The ground is quite soft and easily damaged.

Nice! You beat me to posting a road report 😁.
Could you please edit the trip report to add Iron Peak, Mount Stuart, Lake Ingalls, etc, as well :)?

Update to Esmeralda Basin Report
Thanks for the suggestion. Took a while to figure out how to modify the report but I got it done.
