I always said that cycling Transfagarasan in June, gives you 3 seasons in 2 hours. Bottom - Summer, middle forest area - Spring zone, and on top: Winter!
Consider on top of this: car traffic is closed till end of June!

Normally the road opens a little earlier than stated - last year it was on the 7th, this year 5th of June. If you have a look at Facebook on the pages of CNAIR (romanian road agency) you can see actual videos of the snow removal on the road frequently to get a clue about the status. There are also webcams at Bâlea Lac and the Mountain Rescue "Salvamont" which shows the south side of the mountain near the top of climb and the tunnel entrance.
