How is the snowpack shaping up to be in the Sierras this year?

I probably will be on the JMT stretch this summer, around late July, hiking from Yosemite to Whitney. I hiked in 2010 and left mid July and the mosquitoes were a PITA. Was that a particularly wet year ( Iw ill need to check the postholer site)? From what I understand, this year is more drought like than 2010.

I just dug up this. A bit old, but looks like snow is really minimal this year:

Begs the question what water will be like in the high country. The sections south of the Sierra Nevada may be really bad for water sourcing unfortunately.
