Winter here does just suck, with lots of grey skies and snow/ice/cold rain. The weather does try to make up for it during the brief tease of spring, summer, and early fall, but anyone who tells you the winters here are great is a bald-faced liar. This is an exceptionally mild winter. It sucks that it was too cold to enjoy the first sticking snow of the season. This one is ok, but I wish there was more. We usually get at least one sticking snowstorm a month through April and sometimes at least one snow event in May. Usually there would be a lot more snow by now but it has been unusually mild since that deep freeze around Christmas.

I just don’t know what the hell OP is talking about when they say there wasn’t snow on the ground today? I guess I was just imagining the heavy snow showers when I was driving into work this morning lol

And yeah you’re right, it’s been mild for many cities in this part of the country.

The NYC to DC corridor is still waiting for its first snow accumulation of the season. Chicago just had its first snowfall of more than an inch yesterday. Pittsburgh is hardly the only place that hasn't had much of a winter this year. It looks like we could get a few inches of snow on Wednesday morning though from a front end thump before it changes to rain.

You have arrived in Pittsburgh during winter. It is the cloudiest city in the United States. This is what our city looks like during the grayest, cloudiest season.

If you don’t like it, I hope your stay is short and you leave soon. If you don’t mind it, then please come back sometime.

I recently moved downtown. Something you quickly notice is that about 25% of the pedestrians down here are afflicted with something. However, there are still great restaurants. You just need to circumvent two schizophrenics and three teenagers armed with pistols to get to them. Keep it moving and act like you’re a foreigner when the bums ask for money.

But there's been snow cover in my backyard this morning?

You really need to move to somewhere like Minnesota or Northern New England if you expect winter to have snow cover last most of the season.
