Wag! Walkers know East Falls
On foot travel can be affected by the Philadelphia weather which can be wet. Rainy days occur frequently and require good rain gear to stay dry. Winters are damp and cool with occasional snow that makes footing treacherous. Although snow rarely stays as Philadelphia daytime winter temperatures tend to rise above freezing, snow cover on the ground is slippery and reduces traction. Avoid walking when conditions are slick and wait for the snow to melt. Summer weather in Philadelphia is hot and humid. Walking your dog earlier or later in the day when it is cooler will be more comfortable for you and your pup when extreme heat occurs.
