[pct-l] Snow in the Sierra? ? ?

[Gail Van Velzer]

There is now!  Within the last week it rained, snowed and hailed all through 
the Sierras.  It rained between Kennedy Meadows, Biship, Mammoth, Yosemite 
and Oakhurst.  The storm hit a prety big area.  There was snow above 8000 
feet, in the passes, and even Hwy. 120, leading into Yosemite was closed (at 
least overnight) due to snow.  The weather has cleared now, but I'm sure 
some snow remains.
golly
