Hmm looking outside between yesterday and this morning and I’d say 2-2.5” tops about 7 miles from Butler.

If I have the choice between upper 20s and snow or 35 and rain, I will 100% take the snow. It looks so much less miserable and depressing out my window today with a little bit of snow.

Keeps raining in NJ and I freaking love it, hate snow. Why people want to deal with snow I’ll never understand.

That was down further. Whiskey Dick's was at 1600 Smallman and Touch was at 1400.

Generally, a chart or table of any kind has some kind of order to it (alphabetized, numeric, chronological, etc.). Her’s have no such order whatsoever. Ugh.

It's all one huge conspiracy by Big Toilet Paper and Big Dairy. Don't get whitepilled.

I haven't seen any snow on the ground in Southside. Didn't see any heavy snow this morning either, but I didn't get up until 9. Just a bit laying on roofs and cars earlier, and even then nothing much to speak of.

It seems like the snow waits a little long to come around these days. Wait until February or even March. We can get hammered in those months. Get us a good lake effect pounding.

Honest question, what's confusing about a list of places and the amount of snow they received? What am I missing?

Measured snowfall does not necessarily reflect what's left on the ground after the event is complete.

Ah yes, nothing compares to the beautiful weather of…Ohio. Maybe someday we’ll have weather that can compare!

Yeah, weather here is shitty most the time. It’s grey 80% of the year. Even when it’s sunny in the summer it’s so hazy it looks cloudy.

Why is PRT considering a busway when AVRR is being used for freight? Does freight line want to sell the ROW? I follow city and south hills transit news more closely because I’m more familiar with the geography. I’ve been to oakmont once but I haven’t explored anything else over in that part of the county

I couldn't deal with the bipolar weather of Colorado.

Just moved here from Colorado and my partner said that it reminds them of Scotland, but with snow. I love PA!

Well, if I'm looking for a ray of sunshine, it sure as fuck isn't going to be in your direction.

I hear there is a neighborhood that gets no snow…might be the whole city.

Maybe they're near Downtown or in the river valleys where there are times that there can be noticeably less snow than in the suburbs? Doesn't happen that often, but there have been a few times I've seen it as more of like a rain snow mix in Lawrenceville but towards Ross Township and McCandless, there are two inches of snow. Even then, they would have had to have driven through the parts of the area that have snow to get there.
A segment of the sub loves to act like we barely get snow around here because it doesn't snow here like it doesn't Erie or Buffalo. Pittsburgh gets more snow on average than NYC, Philly, Columbus, and Indianapolis. The average snowfall we get in a season is fairly comparable to Chicago, Boston, and Detroit.

Yes, the FRA grants waivers for lightweight DMUs on active freight lines, but typically only when the freight lines are only used at specific times, like overnight service. NJ Transit runs such a line from Camden to Trenton, which is technically classified as light rail like the Sprinter line in CA that you mentioned. This line in Denton, TX was the first to get such a waiver, according to Wikipedia, though I believe there was a later Obama era relaxing of waiver standards for lighter passenger rail rolling stock: https://web.archive.org/web/20120609012338/http://www.dentonrc.com/local-news/local-news-headlines/20120605-dcta-gets-go-ahead-to-use-stadler-cars.ece
There are several lines that use heavy duty DMUs, and I think one iteration of the old PAT train used the old Budd cars. But I think if PRT decides to go with rail for the AVRR line, they should be able to classify it as “light rail” like the Sprinter and NJ River lines (since it only runs freight overnight) and go with the cheaper, lighter DMUs.

I think maybe I am misremembering things. The timeframe I am looking at is 1994/95 and I found a YouTube of a performance from 1999. Thinking maybe in 94/95 it was already Whiskey Dick's?
