Will ATK #5 detour again thru FRC?

i was wondering; today's #5 (wb CZ) is detouring
right now through the Feather River Canyon. (She
has the Amtrak #6 on the point.) This is being done
because the Hill (Donner) has snow problems, and is
congested, so the UP is fleeting trains directionally
through the FRC and over The Hill, so all eastbounds
are going over Donner, and all westbounds are going
through the scenic Feather River Canyon.

Does anyone know if this will be done tomorrow, on
account the weather? WILL Amtrak's California Zephyr
that is to show up in Reno tomorrow (March 24, 2011)
be detoured through the Canyon? A friend might
be able to chase, if that is so, and another friend might
even be able to ride -- iof we know the info soon enough.

TiA!

P.S. #5 is a mile from the east switch at Virgilia right now.
