[pct-l] April 1st Sierra Snow Conditions

[AsABat]

You're right, of course. <TIC mode> I'm starting the initiative process
to require the entire population of Los Angeles to move to northern
California! Where should we send them - Crescent City or Mt. Shasta?

And actually, we the state of California need snow, not rain. I know
it's not good for early season hikers, but the Sierra snow pack is the
largest "reservoir" we all have. The state is in bad shape financially,
and businesses going under for lack of water is sure not going to help.

But back on topic:

Certainly the low snow pack is good for the hikers. At least until the
streams dry up. With Tyndall so low versus normal, the upper streams in
the alpine country approaching the passes will go dry sooner than usual.
