Always carry chains 1 to 2 days after snow. Buy them before you go up. There are stores that will sell them up the hill, but more than what you would pay down below.
No! Not enough snow. Maybe mornings after it snowed but generally it's melted. Carry them anyway though
Its not quite the weekend yet.. you should check your weather app 2 days before. If you see the snow symbol the night beforr i would bring them. Return them if you dont use (walmart)... we went 2 weeks ago and we saw it was to snow Wed night about midnight so we left Wed night at 8pm (3 hr drive). It snowed all night like it said and come 6am we needed chains to go out. You can check the road conditions on the big bear mtn or snow summit websites as well.
You should always carry chains. There are store to get them if you need them.
You should always carry chains in the winter. Currently you won't need them. However there is a storm scheduled for Friday so you never know. It's not worth not having them
more than likely yes. looks like another storm is rolling in this Friday. the sites website has a section for road conditions you can always check
