Pittsburgh, winter is giving us a little reminder today with some light snow in the forecast. It won’t be a lot—just a dusting—but even a little snow can make roads slick, especially on I-376 and other busy routes. If you’re heading out, take it slow and stay safe.
What to Expect
- Snowfall: Most areas will get less than an inch of snow, but that’s enough to make roads and sidewalks slippery.
- Cold Temps: Highs will barely climb into the low 30s, so any snow that falls is going to stick.
- Icy Spots: Watch out for slick conditions on untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses—they’ll freeze faster than other areas.
Tips for Driving in the Snow
- Go Easy on the Gas and Brakes: Take your time, drive slower than usual, and leave plenty of space between cars to avoid sudden stops.
- Look Out for Ice: Black ice can be sneaky, especially on bridges and shaded areas, so be extra cautious.
- Leave Early: Plan for extra travel time to get to where you need to go safely.
What’s Next?
The snow should taper off by this evening, leaving behind cloudy skies and cold air. The rest of the week looks dry but chilly, with daytime highs sticking to the 30s and nighttime lows dipping into the 20s.
Final Thoughts
While it’s not a big snowstorm, today’s light dusting is enough to make roads tricky, especially during the morning and evening commutes. Stay careful on the roads, and enjoy the wintry vibe—it’s a small taste of what’s to come this season.
Bundle up, drive safe, and stay warm, Pittsburgh!
