OK.? I found the current charts.? The highest?we have been at this time of the year was about 75% of normal in these?regional charts.? ?We are at record levels right now,?with the statewide average at 224% of normal.? Here the South is 126%, Central is 106%, and North is 87% above normal levels for this time of the year.

Let's not forget that at 257% above normal at this time of the year we will see a particularly difficult Spring and Summer.? I don't recall seeing this level, ever!? Even our worst years on record weren't even close to this level at this time of the year.??

Check out the CA Snow and Water Content Chart.? This year is OFF THE CHART!!!

Definitely still to early to predict how high it will go, but barring a pretty unusual early melt, I would say the highest likelihood is some some long( Mile.Mile and a half)? snow approaches, such as north side of Muir and Forester especially into early July. and at least patchy snow persisting at the passes to mid-July. But that's assiming the massive dumps end with the current one.? After that, who knows: Sky (almost literally) is the limit.? I have some early season warmup permits at fairly low elevations, but I am not going to be shocked if all are unusable.?? For me, much snow travel is Type II fun.
