I have heard it said (and I believe it) that PA gets all the worst weather of the US. We can get as hot as Texas and Nevada in the summer, it can get as cold as Alaska in the winter.
There are welding jobs though. Dillsburg used to be nice. Then people from Baltimore started moving there to escape their city crime problems. And the problems came with them since it was their kids causing them.
I like the area that I'm in. Anywhere from here to Wellsboro near the NY stat line is pretty nice, out side of Williamsport, and there are shale fracing operations all over the place. I'm sure they are in need of welders.
