Did it REALLY snow in Pittsburgh today?
Hold your horses, cowboy (or cowgirl)! Despite what your overactive imagination (or that rogue weatherman you follow on social media) might tell you, Pittsburgh did not, in fact, experience a blizzard today, May 21st, 2024.
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Unless... you count that flurry you saw dance past your window for a fleeting moment. In that case, you might be able to claim Pittsburgh experienced a "snow microburst" – a very scientific term I just made up.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
But fear not, fellow snow enthusiasts! Winter will be back eventually, burying our cars in a majestic blanket of white... and causing immense amounts of shoveling-related back pain. But for now, let's just appreciate the sunshine and the fact that we can (hopefully) wear shorts without looking like we're auditioning for the Polar Bear Plunge.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
