Southern California precipitation totals are 50 - 70% below normal at this
time.
I was on the trail in 2005 and 2006. I hiked WA-OR in 2005 and my
recollection was that there was a heavy snowpack in the Sierra which caused
many thru-hikers to flip over the Sierra. I hiked CA in 2006 and the
snowpack wasn't as bad. This shows the problems with trying to estimate
hiking conditions based on the water surveys.
