Snow on the four peaks?

Sorry for asking the obvious but I do not trust my eyes...

Has anybody been up to Brown's Peak since Christmas? The reason I ask is I can not tell if I am seeing snow up there or not. I would like to hit the chute and get up to Brown's Peak in the snow. If anybody has current snow info for Brown's Peak and feels like sharing; I would appreciate it. :D

Thanks in advance for your help!

Holy crap Higgs, where have you been? I just went up there on Friday, look at the picks under Browns Peak on here or the other site. All is fine getting to the chute, but that thing is like an ice waterfall in there. I don't think anyone will be making it far up that. Snow may only be a foot deep, but the ice is a pain. Without Crampons and an ice axe I wouldn't even consider it.

Thanx Tim! I was planing on taking the kids; that's what I was worried about...
