I mean it’s been a mild winter so far even by our standards but we literally have snow coverage for the entire region right now lmao

The NYC to DC corridor is still waiting for its first snow accumulation of the season. Chicago just had its first snowfall of more than an inch yesterday. Pittsburgh is hardly the only place that hasn't had much of a winter this year. It looks like we could get a few inches of snow on Wednesday morning though from a front end thump before it changes to rain.

I just don’t know what the hell OP is talking about when they say there wasn’t snow on the ground today? I guess I was just imagining the heavy snow showers when I was driving into work this morning lol

And yeah you’re right, it’s been mild for many cities in this part of the country.

Maybe they're near Downtown or in the river valleys where there are times that there can be noticeably less snow than in the suburbs? Doesn't happen that often, but there have been a few times I've seen it as more of like a rain snow mix in Lawrenceville but towards Ross Township and McCandless, there are two inches of snow. Even then, they would have had to have driven through the parts of the area that have snow to get there.

A segment of the sub loves to act like we barely get snow around here because it doesn't snow here like it doesn't Erie or Buffalo. Pittsburgh gets more snow on average than NYC, Philly, Columbus, and Indianapolis. The average snowfall we get in a season is fairly comparable to Chicago, Boston, and Detroit.

I haven't seen any snow on the ground in Southside. Didn't see any heavy snow this morning either, but I didn't get up until 9. Just a bit laying on roofs and cars earlier, and even then nothing much to speak of.

They usually last no more than a couple of hours, but they can be fun to watch when they happen.

Keeps raining in NJ and I freaking love it, hate snow. Why people want to deal with snow I’ll never understand.

If I have the choice between upper 20s and snow or 35 and rain, I will 100% take the snow. It looks so much less miserable and depressing out my window today with a little bit of snow.
