[pct-l] Lots of snow

[wayneskraft at comcast.net (Wayne Kraft)]

Well, here's the situation at Timberline Lodge which is right on the  
PCT in Oregon:  five feet of snow this morning and possible four more  
feet by Monday morning.  Down here on the valley floor it is cold and  
raining hard with a little snow mixed in.  So far, if you took the  
Postholer graphs from last year and inverted them (with all the snow  
in the north instead of the south, you would just about have a  
picture of the current situation.
