Sierra trip planners: remember this stuff? SNOW - 02/23/17 04:22 PM
Statewide percentage of average April 1 snowpack (historical maximum date): 158%
Statewide percentage of average Feb 23 snowpack: 191%
In sum, we have about twice average for the date and if it doesn't snow another flake, half again as much as an average complete season. Not only will trails open a month or more late, damage from windfall (recalling the tens of millions of dead trees) and washouts will be considerable.
August and September look promising.
