[pct-l] snow in the Sierra

I just took a look at Postholers site and the way I read it (the yellow 
line at the bottom), it looks like he's saying June 14 would be a good 
entry date.  However, I believe he does his caculations as if today's 
snow water content is April 1 snow water content.  Because we have a 
week to go to get to April 1, it's likely that the snow  water content 
will go down slightly (some melting), so as long as the Sierra's don't 
get another storm between now and April 1, then that June 14 date may 
back off a couple of days or so.

Anyone else use postholer's site, and if so, am I reading it correctly?

Thanks,
