[pct-l] SNOW!!

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

"Since Dec. 28, up to 19 feet of snow has fallen at elevations above
7,000 feet in the Sierra, with 6 1/2 feet at lower elevations in the
Reno area. Meteorologists said it was the most snow the Reno-Lake Tahoe
area has seen since 1916." from www.cnn.com


Looks like its shaping up to be a very heavy snow year.  We still have 
alot of time between now and may, but it looks like it will be a heavy 
snow year.  Of course with Global Climate Change, the spring could be 
the hottest since 1916 and melt everything.

Anyway, I'd suggest that the JMT hiker aksing when he should go should 
make plans for August, just to be safe.

peace,
dude
