[pct-l] all time high snowpack reached

[Ken Murray]

The cool trend of this spring/summer has finally caused the snowpack to persist to the extent that in the northern sierra, the snow is the same level as the all-time heaviest snowpack on record!

In the southern sierra, it is about the same as last year at this point (although I think the run-off in the creeks far exceeds last year.  Can't prove this, but the reports of hikers and the objective data from Yosemite supports that)

Yikes!
