[pct-l] Sierra Snow Melt

[Bighummel at aol.com (Bighummel@aol.com)]

The Southern Sierra snow melt is aiming to be clear of snow near the record 
1977 date of the second or third week of May.  See

Should this trend continue, i.e., no more significant storms, then you who 
are looking to enter the Sierra around the Ray Jardin day of June 15th are 
likely to find no snow whatsoever and not require an ice axe, perhaps, either.  
Stay tuned and make your own decisions about when to enter based upon your 
experience levels and equipment.
