[pct-l] The Melt is on...maybe

[dsaufley at sprynet.com (dsaufley@sprynet.com)]

I just got back from Mammoth, and despite the warmer weather, there is still a massive amount of snow in the Central Sierras.  It was in the 60s yesterday, and it's supposed to be 70 degrees there tomorrow, before the next storm moves in early next week.  The peak snow may be over, but by eyesight, there's a helluva lot left to melt off.

For those of us in the class of 2005, obsessing over snow levels has 
become a regular habit over the past two months.  Well, the Sierras are 
seeing a drop in depth and snow water content as of today, with several 
more warm days to go before things cool down a little.  It's still 
early, but the snow picture is looking a little better, with at least a 
pretty good chance that we have already reached the peak of snow for 
the year.  That could all change very quickly, but there is increasing 
chance it seems that the Southern Sierra will be quite reasonable 
sometime in mid June.
