Some time ago I posted to both the Posthole and PCT-L sites information and methods on how to use Postholer Maps to predict snow level depths.  Please see https://www.postholer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2847 https://www.postholer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2847   and there is also a reference to the PCT-L post.  The post is long and some may find it complicated.  Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Also I posted this to the PCT-L so others may benefit from our conversation.Thumper aka dofdear > On March 25, 2019 at 2:04 PM Susan Virnig <susan at newstories.org> wrote:> >     Hey, Thumper,> >     Thanks a lot!  Very helpful.  > >     I did not know about Postholer’s snow map!  When I looked there, Sections, F, E and C appear to be free of snow.  Do you know how accurate his map is?  It says, " Trail snow  takes a single modeled value at thousands of specific locations along the trail…”  So if the map is based on modeled values, do you know how useful it is?  I ran into him once about 13 miles north of Seiad Valley, and when he gave his name, I asked, “Are you THE Postholer?” and indeed it was him!  I thanked him so much for all his work! > >     —Susan> > >         > >         On Mar 25, 2019, at 10:28 AM, DANIEL COHEN < dofdear at cox.net mailto:dofdear at cox.net > wrote:> > > >         Hi Susan,> >         I've responded in kind,> > > >         1.

I do not but in reviewing the Postholer map there does not appear to be much snow along the PCT through Angeles NF.  My opinion would be to hike the PCT.> > > >         5.
