[pct-l] Fall on the PCT

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

Recent posts about hiking the southern PCT this time of year got me  
thinking.

This past month the conditions seemed ideal for hiking in So Cal. The  
weather here in Santa Barbara has alternated between warm or hot  
days, cool or cold nights, and warm storms.

How is the southern PCT this time of year? Does anybody know if  
there's snow RIGHT NOW on the trail near San Jacinto? If the weather  
stays about the same until Thanksgiving, what do you think the San  
Jacinto area will be like? I might like to go for a little hike over  
Thanksgiving holiday if it's still nice then.

How late can you still hike in the Liebres? How about the area around  
Big Bear? When does the snow start accumulating around there?

Thanks for any info.
