[pct-l] Sierra snowmelt



What's wrong with this picture?

Along most of the PCT, early morning is usually the lowest flow, with peak
flow in the warm afternoon. Is this Happy Isles flow pattern due to the fact
that it's many miles below snowline, and therefore delayed several hours
from the peaks and ebbs observed in the high country?
