September - Mid-October
Light sweaters are in, as well as your hiking
boots, as I'm sure you'll want to get out and
enjoy the gorgeous fall leaves of Western
Pennsylvania. Average highs in the low-tomid 60s. Fall is one of the prettiest times in
Pittsburgh, a respite between the hot days of
summer and snowy cold winters.
See you all at
Galaxy IV in
September!!!
