Yeah, it’s news. I’m planning 100 miles hiking at 10,000 ft. plus week 3 - 4 of July and am nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. I’m hoping for a big June melt or I’m totally hosed.

In the High Sierra of California there is still 10+ feet of snow on the trails above 10,000 feet. I try to expalin this to flatlander tourists who come to go hiking in shorts and flip flops and they just don't understand; they say "How can that be? Winter is over!" I tell them Spring has barely begun up in the mountains.
