[pct-l] El Nino weather predictions



For those of you who are planning hikes for 1998 and are concerned about the
impact that El Nino will have, here is a good web site from NOAA:

This page is updated frequently and deserves a bookmark!

Along the PCT,they predict a wetter and warmer Feb-April for all of
California, with extremely more than normal precipitation in far southern
California.  

Washington state is expected to have dryer and warmer conditions for
Feb-April.  Maybe 1998 will be more favorable for southbound thru-hikers
unless the warmer weather melts the Sierra snowpack early.
