Pittsburgh, a light dusting of snow is on the way today, and while it’s nothing to panic about, it could make roads a bit slippery—especially on highways like I-376 and untreated streets. If you’re heading out, take it slow and stay cautious.
What’s Happening?
- Light Snowfall: Most areas will see less than an inch of snow. It’s not much, but it’s enough to stick to colder surfaces and create some slick spots.
- Cold Temps: With highs in the low 30s, any snow that falls is likely to stick, especially in shaded areas or on bridges.
- Tricky Roads: Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses, and less-traveled roads, which tend to get icy faster.
How to Stay Safe
- Take It Slow: Even a light layer of snow can make stopping harder, so reduce your speed and allow extra space between cars.
- Watch for Ice: Bridges and shaded areas are prime spots for black ice—stay alert.
- Plan Ahead: Leave a little extra time for your commute and check road conditions before heading out.
Looking Ahead
The snow is expected to taper off by early evening, leaving us with a dry but chilly night. Tomorrow’s forecast looks a little brighter, with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-30s.
Final Thoughts
This isn’t a major snowstorm, but it’s enough to cause slick spots, so take it easy on the roads today. Stay safe out there, Pittsburgh, and enjoy the light snow while it lasts!
