The PA Chapter's February 2026 Chat and B/S Thread

Well, that was a quick 31 days....

January's done, and now we're into February already. Winter doldrums have sort of set in, but not to fear, spring is coming in 48 days. Though we'll need to slog through February to get to it.

Not much else to say beyond that. You know what to do, so do it

Say what you want, but I like winter and especially the snow. Took the Indy to Sideling hill near Breezewood. Ran 122 miles on those trails. They were absolutely spectacular. The views along that mountain rival some of those in the Adirondacks. Tried to stay for sunset but too many jumps were making my knees and wrists ache.

I like the openness of those views. That sled may have a little attitude! LOL

Good morning, Gang! We had a relaxing weekend with volleyball in Morgantown & my daughter's birthday celebration. I saw -8* on the dash on the way to therapy this morning. I did not have that on my bingo card. Now I'm hearing about more snow for the weekend again!

It made it to 30 in these parts. I spent my day in PennDOT digital delivery training, and get to spend another one there tomorrow. Nice easy start to February since the site of the training is only 15 minutes across town, but we shall see what chaos is in store when I get back to the office on Wednesday.
