No surprises here.
As of April 15, there is still a $hit of snow and ice in the San Jacintos heading out of idylwild. My hiking partner and I are flipping to walker pass and are going to head south and do the heat before its bad and hopefully the snow will decrease significantly in 2-3 weeks. We ran into one-gallon on April 14 who hiked south from Agua Dulce and he laughed when we asked if he could find the trail. He was hiking forest service roads/ highways to bypass all the snow/ice. He laughed even louder when I asked if he thought if would be better in a couple of weeks!
Ice axe and crampons 100% necessary according to local rangers and outfitter if you plan on hiking the pct through the jacintos. But dont worry there’s 50% more precip in the San Gabriels 
But we’ve had a blast so far and will hike wherever we can!
