[pct-l] Snow



I agree, useful information but it is also only one piece of data.  For
example, if you live around Mt. Hood, you would notice a very big difference
between this year and last year and that was that last year the snow was
heavy up high but virtually none at lower elevations.  This year the snow is
heavy up high too but also there is a lot of snow far lower down.  This
translates into far fewer trails to hike in the spring unless you want to
hike in snow.   Of course, it's all about the spring thaw rate anyway when
it comes to hiking and I think it probably has also statistically been
colder this year than last.   Bottom line is that I could sure use a couple
Southern Sierra days about now!!!  -swoosh

Jeff,
I really liked the comparisons on the snow depth for April 15th, 

I would like to see it for June, July and August.
