so how long does it on average take after a storm for avalanche conditions to subside? I am sitting at home delaying my departure to the Sierras each day by another day, looking at more snow on the way. (I am 2000 miles out, so this is a costly choice to make)

current forecast is more snow through Sunday (Yosemite area), and then cold and windy. what does that mean for snow changes?

I'm about to cancel the trip for now and try back in 2 weeks or so, which would be a bummer, since there's that April Fool's Day group going up the MR I wanted to join, although with this weather right now that trip may really be a fool's thing to do :-)
