Outdoorsman moving to Pittsburgh: Help!

[5stones]

stop you bitchin' about the weather and anwser the OP's question about outdoors and horses and hunting!!

Try MT LEBo. (dormont area to live)
You are close to drive into school and close to Washington county. Peters township has horse boarding and so does North Stabane.
Washinton county has Deer hunting and turkey hunting a plenty. Wash county schools are also off for opening day of deer season.

We lived in peters and hubby had 2 farms within 15minutes of thehouse to hunt at.

Humidity a killer ?!?!?
Pittsburgh is nowhere near as humid as the South.

I was in Charleston SC, where the humidity was at 98% and the temp was 98 degrees. That's when I swore I would never live in the South... the humidity here is more than tolerable!

Depends on how long of a commute he wants. I live north of Gibsonia (Butler County) and commute to downtown. It's 45-50 minutes. That's too long for some, but I don't mind. The drive is easy.

And the bonus is that I live far enough away from the city that I can turkey/deer hunt in my back yard. :-)

The OP stated he was moving there in June... Wondering what he found!?!?

Greensburg Patty...if you are still reading and posting...Why are you misleading people? I take this site very seriously...so please.
Summation...Pittsburgh climate 58 sunny days per year
Total wall to wall dark gray cloud cover in summer fall spring winter 228 days
The remainder are partly cloudy
I spend time in the WEST OF IRELAND,GALWAY and such...same climate as Pittsburgh.

Totally incorrect Pitt Chick.......................check the stats everyone.Pittsburgh is a humid place with no ocean breeze.
I would have a chemist check the cafeteria food! LOL

Actually, the definition of a cloudy day is based on averaging the hourly sky conditions from sunrise to sunset. If the average cloud cover, rounded to the nearest 10%, is 80% or over, that will be classified as a cloudy day (0-30% is clear, 40-70% is partly cloudy).

So, cloudy days can, and often do, have some periods with at least some sun (in fact you could have lots of sun for a short period, or some sun for longer periods, and still meet the definition).

Bumping a 3-year-dead thread to talk about the weather, that's gotta be a record. Holy crap. The thread has been dormant for 3 years!

That's what happens when you have a senile old man trying to remember Pittsburgh from back in 1955.
