Overall, what<br \/>\nwas a fairly formidable snowpack in early February has been<br \/>\ndiminished considerably by very favorable melt conditions and dry<br \/>\nair. Satellite imagery and webcams suggest recent weather patterns<br \/>\nhave already removed a fair amount of the water equivalent via<br \/>\nevaporation and sublimation.
