There is the Lincoln Ave brewery, but otherwise yeah it could use a bar.

It was. Voters of the town finally lifted the ban in 2015.

I agree. I moved out here just before I turned 28, and at that point I was losing interest in spending weekends at the bar until 2:00 AM, so it being quiet over here wasn't too big of an issue for me, but it's not the best place if you're a sociable 25-year-old looking to go out and not have to deal with getting a DD or an Uber..

I can explain the 2.5 inches by the airport and nothing in the city Sunday evening. With the system on Sunday evening, there was a band of moderate snow that was able to accumulate 1 to 2 inches in areas of far western Allegheny County and to the west of that because it basically held stationary over the same areas. By the time the banding finally shifted east towards the city around midnight, the best dynamics were over, so what snow did fall here had a much harder time accumulating, because it wasn't as heavy and the temps were marginal.

I like it. Fairly walkable in most parts of the borough, costs aren't extreme, there's an express bus to get Downtown if you have a 9:00 to 5:00 job down there, and drive times to many other places are relatively quick

You're absolutely right.

It really doesn't. That link you provided shows plenty of winters under 30 inches for a season throughout the years. The average is 44 inches so that means half of winters should have more than that, and about half of them should have less of that.

The average snowfall for a season here is 45 inches. We just had 55 inches of snow in the winter of 2020-21 and 45 inches of snow last winter, so that's just not true.

Bingo. Yeah, if you're on west side of Cleveland, you can't get much if any lake effect from a west wind, and I think the elevation plays a role in those areas to the east too.

I love snow as well, so I wish I could spend a winter in Erie or Ashtabula once.

I know people complain about it (and it's probably unnecessary for the first two to three years after purchasing a brand new car to require inspection in most cases), but you definitely notice a difference with the quality of cars on the road in states like Ohio and Michigan where there are no inspections compared to PA.

The area of Ohio that gets the lake effect is really a small portion of Ohio's land area as a whole to be fair. You generally can't get much lake effect in Ohio until you're in and around Cleveland to Youngstown, and points north and east of that. Even in Cleveland, the western parts of the metro area have much more manageable snowfall totals that are not that much worse than what you get around here, while it's the places just east of the city of Cleveland that get dumped on.

Pittsburgh has never been a spot for large 12+ inch snowfalls, but it gets plenty of 2 to 6-in snow falls throughout the year during a normal winter. Just two winters ago we had like four 6+ inch snowfalls throughout the season though, and that was fun

Better here than the right wing regressive shithole Ohio has turned into over the last 10 years.

Columbus averages 28 inches of snow a year, Toledo averages 37 inches of snow per year, and Cincinnati averages only 23 inches of snow a year.

Pittsburgh meanwhile averages 44 inches of snow per year.

Sure Cleveland and points north and east of there in Ohio can do well with the lake effect, but it's absolutely not true that the other major cities of Ohio are snowier than Pittsburgh.

Lmfao, maybe you should take a shower if you keep smelling shit.

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

I agree with that

The most comfortable 90° I've ever experienced was in Colorado.

It looked like there was close to an inch and a half in Bellevue before it began to melt. Places in far Western Allegheny County, along with beaver and Butler Counties got in on a heavier band of snow yesterday evening that largely missed the actual city limits and points east. Just to explain why totals were so much higher there than closer to the city.

It looks like it's in alphabetical order by county, even though the county isn't noted in the graphic.

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.

I couldn't deal with the bipolar weather of Colorado.

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.

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.

But there's been snow cover in my backyard this morning?

You really need to move to somewhere like Minnesota or Northern New England if you expect winter to have snow cover last most of the season.

I have never in my life heard someone claim significantly less populated rural areas outside of a city influence the city more than the city would influence the areas surrounding it.
