[pct-l] pics from 95

I should add one other statistic that might offer some hope in the midst of all 
the doom and gloom:

When the reading at upper tyndall creek is more than 34" on April 15, 78% of 
those years the zero day reading was after 6/19. That's the bad news.

The other side of that coin is that 22% of the time, even with 34" on April 15, 
it *did* melt off quickly enough that it read zero on or before 6/19.

To be fair, there isn't that much data: 9 times since 1975 it has read 34" or 
more on 15 April and there are two times that zero day was 6/19 or before:

In 1986 it read 47" and zero day was 6/19.
In 1997 it read 49" and zero day was 6/18.

As of today, the reading is 37.30".
