Hi all,
I will be in the Las Vegas area the first week of November and a buddy and I decided to take advantage of our proximity to Whitney and make an attempt on the MR. I'm just looking for a general feeling as to what the weather and route conditions may be like in early November. I understand that mountain weather is always unpredictable and conditions will vary year to year, but neither of us is from the area so we are totally unfamiliar with the typical weather patterns in the high Sierras. We have plenty of experience in nasty winter weather from dozens of trips in the White Mountains, so if it's going to be nasty that's not a problem per se, just hoping to make an informed decision for selecting gear.
In particular:
-general temp ranges (high and low) at Iceberg Lake and summit
-typical snow pack this time of year
-likelihood of severe storms
Thanks!
