A definite snow day staple, but I do not understand why Americans call the Roman-invented Pan Dulcis "French toast".

Figured I would bump my prediction. Seems I am going to be spot on as usual.

Interesting to see the snow line rapidly sagging south on the radar. Could this thing be over by 2pm? lol

We'll see if the 2nd wave of energy passes completely to our south or throws some snow back our way for the evening.

I've heard rumors that USC is out of road salt. We've got 2" here and no trucks yet on a key secondary road near my house which is odd. We'll see.

Yeah, Heaven forbid the track of the storm pass 50 miles south of where they forecast it to go 72 hours out. It just means Maryland and northern West Virginia will bear the brunt of the snow instead of southern Pennsylvania.

PennDOT was caught completely unprepared for this. I just had a white-knuckled experience driving back to the East End from visiting family near Scranton, and Route 28 was so treacherous due to PennDOT's negligence that they CLOSED it and detoured everyone off of it due to accidents. I'm not sure why every little side street in the town they detoured us off into (Tarentum?) was nicely salted while Route 28, a MAJOR commuter belt, wasn't touched.

My parents are in Bethel Park and not one plow has visited their street. I hear rumors of salt shortages in Bethel Park too and they are throwing down sand instead.

But all good here in North Fayette. Saw the plow come through 3 or 4 times.
