As has been said, this is the crux of the issue.  In 1992 my girlfriend 
and I met the first wave of northbounders just south of Sierra City.  
One woman asked us if there was any more snow.  She had a haunted look 
in her eyes.  We told her no, there was none between there and Belden at 
least, where we'd started.  There was lots of snow that year from Sierra 
City south.  The big piles in the trail where you go up for four feet, 
walk four feet, and slide down for four feet.  So tiring - no rhythm. 

There was a website one of the guys on the PCT list created that charted 
snow depth over the course of a hiking season for about 10 or 15 years.  
It was color coded and a great way to compare the current year's snow 
depth to previous years.  Does anyone know where that site is?  Is it up?
