PA > 5th Annual NWPA Winter Hang

**mbal1856** · 01-14-2020, 08:39

Well my daughter had a cheer competition in Pittsburgh last weekend, Indy this weekend and Buffalo next weekend. First weekend she doesn't have one? First weekend in Feb so looks like I'm in for the hang. Only thing keeping me home is driving conditions right now. Just have to decide if I want to take a half day on Friday and come out then or early Sat morning. Can't wait to get out in the woods again.
If there is snow, does anyone know how the road conditions are in the area there? Do they get plowed regularly? My car sucks in the the snow and I don't feel like having to camp on the side of the road.

The roads and parking lot get plowed but after the main roads.

I was out at Laurel Mill this weekend and there is a lot of that big downed cherry tree left if anyone wants to bring a chainsaw. I’ll bring a maul.

Tired of this yo-yo Winter. From real cold to real warm. Pffft.
My last hang started in the upper 40's with rain, progressing to freezing rain/sleet and finnishing with snow.

Friend from The Great White North may be joining us, so maybe he can bring some snow with him....

I don’t have a chainsaw but I will be there early Friday morning I’ll help with what I can. But I do have a nice fisk saw

**CLSR--000** · 01-20-2020, 20:22

I'm planning on being there some time Friday afternoon, assuming no further vehicle breakdowns.

got my bucksaw and carpenter axe, wondering what I'll have to buy this year lol

**Niagara** · 01-21-2020, 12:52

thought I might be able to make this one but can't. Maybe another time - hopefully decent weather - right LMB?? lol

Just to keep the group informed. I'm planning on bringing about a gallon of chili, french bread and shredded cheese. Maybe a dessert for the Dutch Oven?

Let's hope the weather is nicier than the last EGL hang!
