Beautiful scenery, pleasant day, but do not attempt this hike without a beekeeper's suit because the mosquitoes are so bad that if you stop for 10 seconds they will swarm by the thousands. If you even think about slowing down they might swarm anyway. They do not care about your 99.7% DEET spray, and will still bite through thin clothing.
There re are a few areas of snow but nothing difficult to navigate, and quite a few trees still down over the trail, especially between the Thomas lake trailhead and blue lake, and on the PCT north of Junction Lake.
