[pct-l] Re: Snow Predictitions (was good starting date?)

Hey, why not start a little early and adjust your schedule according to what 
the snow pack is doing in the Sierras. You can always slow your pace down to 
arrive at KM on the suggested June 15th date (that date worked extremely well 
for me on an average snow year). San Jacinto should be passable with an ice ax 
as long as there isn't a tremendous amount of snow. Ditto for the San 
Gabriels. It all depends on your amount of available time
  Marge is right: predicting weather is a lot of fun and really tests your 
powers of observation. As for taking a non experts (or even an expert's) 
predictions seriously, caveat emptor. 
 Speaking of weather, the woods are now wet in the Pacific Northwest and 
anything on the ground will now stay wet until June
  Oops almost time for a great baseball game between the Yankees and Red Sox.
