The Great Pittsburgh Snowmageddon of... May 21st?
Ah, the weather. You never know quite what it's going to throw at you, especially in Pittsburgh. One day you're bundled up like a mummy, the next you're sweating like a gladiator in a toga. So, you might be wondering, as you gaze out your window at the glorious sunshine...
How Much Snow Did Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Get Today |
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.

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.
