[pct-l] Snow?

[Donna Saufley]

There are small patches visible on the south side of the Sierra Pelona, I cannot see the north facing slope.  The trail should be passable, and is probably clear.  While it's been freezing at night (30 degrees when I left at 5:30 this am), the forecast does not call for rain and there is supposed to be a warming trend.  What's been more challenging for folks in this area this time of year has been wind rather than snow.  We've had a lot of that.

Dear Donna and pct-l,

     Would you happen to know if there is any snow in Section E  from Agua Dulce to Bouquet Canyon Road. There is one area that is about 4500' feet. Do you know if there was snow or if it melted or passable? We are planning on hiking that section this Sat.

     Thank you for any info you may have!!!!

     I am planning on calling Angeles NF tomorrow, but any first hand info would be very much appreciative!
