It snowed in Pittsburgh...

Feb 06, 2010 22:13

The weather reports predicted 10-12" of snow for Pittsburgh yesterday. Because most recent predictions of dire snow have turned up about half the predicted snowfall, many disbelieved. We ended up getting 21.5" in the city (some areas reported up to 30", even). Needless to say, we were all quite unprepared for this.

Well, at least your street gets plowed and salted. We're having a shoveling party tomorrow morning at 10:30am since the guy we pay to plow our road just couldn't handle it this time. Of course, 22" will do that. Too bad it's Asshole Neighbor we're bailing out since it's his week, but better we shovel out way out now so that we can escape him later. (Plus if we shovel it out enough, the plow can finish the job for us, we hope. Assuming he doesn't need to get towed out a third time.)

Tomorrow night's going to be cold, too. Drip your water tonight and catch up on your DVR tomorrow. :)

We once saw salt and plowing on the street, once, about a month ago. I figure he was bored. And it only came halfway down the street, not nearly to our house. Also, it was pretty much just a single pass to get a few grains of salt laid down.

We are so not going to see a plow from this or later this week's storm. We're digging the car out with a spade in bits and pieces -- the UB just went to REI to see if they have actual snow shovels in fact. I doubt our neighbors will do much too, since those that aren't rentals are elderly.

There is one karmic retribution you'll get with cranky neighbor, btw. It's supposed to dump another 6" on us mid-week. That'll be his problem!

Unfortunately no. It'll be the architect's problem on Wednesday and Thursday - shoveling duty runs from Monday through Sunday. It'll also be our problem because we're going to the Pens game Wednesday night and have to hope we can make it back onto the street that night.

I think the top-of-the-street neighbor just ran a snowblower through our driveway. I think I need to become better neighbors with them. :)
