Sandwich RGB Sorry, I have to cut off the timestamp keys and a lot of the edges to get the file small enough. -

Two of my friends texted me asking about the threat tomorrow. I’m like, bruh, I work on a federal healthcare IT contract, though ngl, I do have a decent track record on snowstorms (for my area) within my circle. I’m game for interesting weather.

Trading Jared McCain was already a bad mistake. Trading Maxey would compound it. If anything, the Sixers should have kept McCain, and traded Embiid (the timing of George's suspension made him untradable at the deadline, but they could move him in the offseason). The Sixers could have turned the page with Maxey, McCain, and Edgecombe as core of the future. Trading Maxey, while still keeping Embiid and George on the roster, would stunt the rebuild for this team.

Any earlier day stuff always saps the strength of the later day stuff around DC. If this is one line only later afternoon then it’s bad here. 60mph gusts+ 50/50

It was a relatively slow second week of March for snowfall here in the Northern Greens – our last winter storm finished up on the 4th, and then we had multiple days of springtime warmth. That warm stretch brought some fun spring skiing, but by midweek, cooler weather had returned and we were back into wintry storms. Our most recent storm began yesterday, and while the lower valleys received snow with minimal accumulation, the mountain valleys and especially the mountains themselves stacked up several inches or more. After a modest start in the morning, the upslope snow kicked in for the afternoon into the evening and pounded the mountains. The snowfall was so intense that the road crews couldn’t keep up with it on the Bolton Valley Access Road, which had to be closed for a time to clear out cars that were stuck. Out of caution, the resort even closed its lifts during that period, since emergency vehicles wouldn’t have been able to get up to the resort if they’d been needed. We weren’t skiing yesterday, but Bolton’s snow report updates told the story, and it sounded like quite a challenge for resort operations. Ultimately, accumulations topped out around a foot along with spine, so it was just another example of what often happens when one of those minor clipper systems runs into the Northern Greens: 3:30 PM UPDATE: The good news is that it's nuking up here, the bad news is that Vista will be closed for the evening due to winds. Mid-Mountain, Mighty Mite, and Snowflake will run as scheduled. With all of the snow coming down hard and fast, please use extreme caution when traveling on the Access Road. Winter tires and four wheel drive is highly encouraged at this time. 4:15 PM UPDATE: The Access Road is currently closed to both uphill and downhill traffic. We're working to clear cars off of the road and then will have to wait for plow trucks to make their rounds. We'll keep you updated as soon as something changes. 4:45 PM UPDATE: The state police and plow trucks are currently working to untangle the Access Road below Timberline. We are making the call to temporarily close ALL LIFTS while the Access Road is closed due to it being inaccessible for emergency vehicles to reach the resort if needed. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you to our local officials, Bolton township, and Bolton team for working hard to get things moving again. 5:30 PM UPDATE: Traffic is now gradually moving on the Access Road. It's not completely clear just yet, but the teams are getting close. We will resume lift operations. Please continue to use caution when traveling. If any skier and rider needs to get back to Timberline but does not have a night ticket, our lift ops team will gladly let you on the lift to get back to Timberline while it's still light out. The storm wound down overnight, so my older son joined my wife and I today for a Bolton session to check out the new snow. I was surprised to see the Bolton Valley snow report only indicating 7 inches of new snow when we’d picked up 6 to 7 inches from the system down in the valley, but I’d say that report was on the conservative side – we did find some spots with only 7 inches, but even after overnight settling, depths of 8 to 10 inches seemed more common. In the valley at our site, the new snow contained close to a third of an inch of liquid equivalent, so I’m guessing the mountain picked up probably a half inch of liquid. It certainly wasn’t a full resurfacing storm, but it did reset the low-angle terrain and a decent percentage of the mid-angle terrain to bottomless or nearly bottomless turns. The average density of the powder down at our place in the valley was 4-5% H2O, but the settled powder we found out there today was still dense enough to slow you down somewhat in the lowest angle areas. The trick to dialing in some of the best powder turns today was finding that sweet spot of terrain pitch that was steep enough to give you good momentum in the available powder yet keep the turns mostly bottomless. We had a lot of fun using our knowledge of the mountain and seeking out those untracked areas with the right pitches to yield some excellent turns. On that note, temperatures in the 20s F today and minimal wind made it that much better. We were glad we started up right when the lifts were opening though, because even at that point it was clear that it was going to be a busy day at the resort – we were already parking in the 4th tier of the main Village lots right around opening bell. It was a big event day for the resort though, with the 5th Annual Blauvelt’s Banks competition taking place at Timberline, and some slalom racing and other events taking place at the main base. When we were leaving around midday, it looked like both the Timberline and main Village lots were basically full.

Central PA Spring 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread

Starting to come together, Pepper, starting to come together. The frontogenesis starting at 6:41pm up until the last frame at 8:51 pm was pretty fricking, incredible. I wanted to include the sandwich RGB loop, but the files are too large. -
I am in the skeptical camp on this one. Threat needs to be taken seriously, of course. But in my experience we fail at these setups even more than we fail at winter storm setups.
