OK people.  Let's have some perspective here.
So far, 2016 is not, I repeat, NOT a high snow year.  It's an incredibly average snow year.
As of this writinghttp://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/snowapp/swcchart.action
indicates the South Sierra, the most critical for thru hikers is at 106% of normal for this time of year (and 65% of the typical maximum which is usually reached about April 1)
Central Sierra:  114% (74% of typical April 1 maximum)
North Sierra 118% (78% of typical April 1 Maximum)

Yawn, so far.

It only seems like a lot because the last several years have had so little.
