Anyone know if Yahoo Falls in the BSF ever freezes up?

I'm sure it does, the question is how often. Rick Weber said that one of the big waterfalls in Muir only freezes up about once every 5 years.

I just went to Hemlock Cliffs Wednesday, and one of the locals said it had been zero degrees for weeks, and yet the biggest waterfall there didn't freeze up:

One of the other large waterfalls did though:

Yellow Birch Ravine(note: no climbing) had an amazing frozen waterfall coming down from the arch:

One of the frozen waterfalls at Yellow Birch Ravine collapsed:

But there was another large frozen waterfall right next to that:
