Parking at Sonora Pass with the snow?

Hi All,
I'm headed to Sonora Pass this weekend to bag some peaks. With all this snow, does anyone know where I can legally park my car in the area? I presume the PCT trailhead lot remains closed (does anybody know?). What about St. Mary's trailhead?
Thanks for any parking beta you can share!

Drove by there on the first weekend of June, there are a decent number of pullouts plowed at the pass, and there's other areas along the road that have melted out a bit. Dunno if it's legal to park overnight, but a lot of backcountry skiers up there.

I was there a couple weeks ago slept in my car in a turn out by the big switchback by deadman’s creek no problem. Other areas by the summit were some areas you could park also.

Thanks for the tips @c9h13no3 and @Gazelle -- the PCT trailhead was closed, but I found plenty parking in plowed pull-out areas. It worked out great!

I parked on the road that leads to the trailhead to take a look around but there was a reasonable amount of parking available. This was on Monday the 24th.
