Chambersburg, PA info?

My wife has been offered a permanent position with nice pay and lots of perks in this area. But it seems isolated and the low population has us wondering about making new friends. We are curious about the weather as well. We are both NC natives and have lived here forever. We have been to PA but not in the winter. Everything I read gives different info. Even elevation varies according to where you read about it.

***Are People Friendly?

***Is There Anything To Do? Snow Skiing Or Water Sports? Restaurants?

***Is It A Good Town For Dogs?

***Is It Cold? We Have Been Told It's Like Pittsburgh But That Was Useless To Us.

***How Much Snow Do You Get In A Normal Winter? Are Roads Taken Care Of?Chambersburg, PA info?
Chambersburg is barely in Pennsylvania. It's more southern-like than northern-like, so it's not like much of Pennsylvania. Most winter days will top out between 35 and 40. Overnights in the teens and 20s are normal, although single digits aren't out of the question. But below zero temperatures are rare. Snows around 6 inches are normal, but can exceed a foot. Anything more than 18 inches is a once every 5 or years thing. Local roads are usually well taken care of, otherwise township and borough supervisors get voted out of their jobs.
