I was in the Tushars yesterday. There was very little snow. I was able to walk up the ridge to 11,000 feet. (On Monday, my friend S. Flinders had boot packed to the summit of Delano.) I went into the woods on a north-facing slope and dug a pit. Thirty inches. Total mid-winter snow pack at nearly 11,000 feet in the Tushars is just a little more than two feet.
When I left the house today, the thermometer said 72F. I went up Bowery Creek and climbed to 8,000 feet. I stopped at 5p to make this picture (below). I was hiking in a T-shirt.
