Comment
15cm of wet heavy snow on picnic table at South Fork trailhead, 30cm+ above 9000ft (still wet and heavy). 200-205cm snow depth @ 9800ft (GPS coordinates). Heavy misting/light snow/rain all day. SoCal cement conditions. A few roller balls started falling from the trees near the summit once the sun briefly peaked out.
