"Being a scientist by training and love, I like to use information we 
have already to try to wrap my head around the idea of a long hike.  
I'll post the compiled graph (made from Australian gov't data) and my 
own /personal/ interpretation of it in a bit."

Now, I too will be on the AT in 2004 and like the idea of knowing what the 
weather will be like but will an Australian gov't be able to predict an Eastern 
USA weather pattern?  As someone noted, "we can't even get a 7 day forecast 
right."

Still, wet weather does mean that there will be enough H2O available. And if 
the wet is liquid that means less snow and ice?  

Does it make sense to carry extra weight in the beginning of the hike so that 
when it is "sent home" the pack will feel so much lighter?
