[pct-l] Eastern Sierra Weather

[Paul Robison]

now, this is far too early in the season to make predictions,

... but will any of this water help with the dessert 'seasonal' streams?  or is 
it not until february etc. that the water will still be around.

as i understand it,  the reason those sections are dessert in the first place is 
because the rain it does get find's it way underground so unimpeded.  


Actually underneath riverside is an enormous underground aquifer, because all 
the water instantly falls through the sand.

I.B.,

The snowfall at lake level here in Tahoe has not been significant, maybe a 
foot or more. However, last night Heavenly received two feet up on the hill 
behind us and I have not yet heard how much they got today. I'll find out 
tomorrow when I go back to work. This "pineapple express" has been real 
warm....
