[pct-l] Sierra Snowpack

["Tom Reynolds"<Tom.Reynolds@ilan.com>]

Sensor data indicates that snow in the 10,000-10,500' range is melting at
the rate of 1.5" of water [3-4" of snow per day] and will be melted by July
4th weekend. This probably accounts for the huge runoff volumes this week.

At 11,000-11,500 snow is melting at 1" per day. The depth is about 25"
[4-6' of snow]. Unless melt speeds up It will be August before it melts
