>>>My non scientific prediction is for an average  snow fall in the 
Sierras>>>>
If a weatherman announces that the weather tomorrow will be just like the  
weather today, he is statistically more likely to be accurate than if he reads  
the isobars and millibars  ( or throws the I Ching, for that matter ) or  
whatever it is they do. 
 
It was supposed to rain violently here in the foothills of the headlands of  
the Sierra Nevada last night.  In the pre-dawn hours, coffee in hand,  sitting 
in the hot tub ( I know, I know.... decadent ) and listening to wind.,  it is 
dry and warm.  Gray clouds, barely visible in the dark, are scudding  
northwest... a sign that it is, in fact, coming.  
 
I predict that another long-distance hiking season is just over the  horizon. 
 I'm already thinking about sorting gear.
