Last weekend's rain event pretty much wiped out the early start for this season. Both Roadside Gully and Hidden Amphitheater are open water and will need at least a week of single digit temps to bring things back now with the excessive runoff.

 Low angle approach to Roadside Gully washed out and did not recover from last weekend's rain event.  The steep upper tiers in Roadside Gully do look to be holding on.

Hidden Amphitheater is completely washed out. Way too much flow...

Yes, I should of headed up Rt 120 north of Lock Haven yesterday, as I am sure I would of got my first sticks of the season. Last night, the temps rose and the area was hit with heavy rain. The ice took a serious hit with the heavy runoff. Below is the damage report:

Roadside Gully took a hit with the rising temps and increased runoff.               The steep upper tiers in Roadside. Glass Menagery is almost touching down.

Hidden Amphitheater has a large open waterfall on the first tier.                       Bears don't appear to be hibernating yet.

Cold weather is filtering into Penns woods. Lets hope for favorable conditions this year.
