Let’s look back at February 2026 in photos . . .

Dateline Aspinwall, PA: Reflecting back on where our paws took us during the month of February, we are grateful that the US Futsal Northeast Regional Tournament in Atlantic City, NJ was last week and not this week. The Snow Cyclone that hit NY, NJ and Boston would have meant that dad would be an extra day or two from home.

We enjoyed all the snowy trails and parks and rivers that February provided us. We did not eat that groundhog from Punxsy, even though six more weeks of winter makes most of the humans hate him.

Yes our river was frozen for most of February both in Aspinwall and East Brady.

Mom and Dad made a pork loin roast with truffle sauce. Crawford decided he needed to finish the Mancini’s Italian Bread.

Once the ice started melting we had high water in Aspinwall. We kept watching for ice jams in East Brady.

We are not quite sure how somebody hit another car just like this.
