The beaver cracker station isn’t emitting pollution, it’s emitting a forcefield dome to protect the city from inclement weather

I need some snow at Boyce so we can teach my kids to ski without spending 2 grand for the weekend.

This is in addition to what u/ballsonthewall said: It probably also has some to do with the urban heat island effect, which is more severe is summer, but still impacts weather in the winter. Basically, we have a city of concrete buildings that, during the winter, are being heated and emitting some heat out into the environment which creates an overall warmer local atmosphere than the surrounding area.

Thanks. I think they are wrens. I'll go check a song database.

If the slot's dry, you're doing something wrong.

Yeah I was kinda excited for a 2 hour delay today too bad

You don't need to have kids to know that that's a bad idea.

Yeah, that's not just their problem then, is it?

Always remember and don't ever forget: Local news's job is to get you to watch. That's it. The goal is ratings and revenue. The more eyeballs and clicks, the more they can charge for ads. The advertisers are their customers, not the viewers. It's been that way since the late 70s when consultants told station owners that news could be a big profit center.

Hahaha, waiting for people to act better is the worst "solution".

guys it finally started snowing !

At my house we’ve dubbed it the “weather hole” and 2022 was the year of boring weather, thanks to the Weather Hole^(TM).

You're only assuming they're more upset about wording than violent actions.

winter storms are insanely intricate and complicated, this thing dropped a foot of snow in Oklahoma and tornadoes in Texas at the same time yesterday. It's really cool to learn about them, but once you start, it's easy to understand why they're so hard to forecast... particularly here.

A group of teenagers acting anti-socially in the space of a few blocks is not at all comparable to a racially segregated neighborhood built on systemic injustice. If you think that ghetto doesn't have racist connotations then I have a hard time believing that you understand what the word means.

1. Usually nothing. If it’s a place I frequent I’ll leave a small tip every once in a while, but definitely not getting 20% for just handing me my food.

2. 15-20% and only use the restaurants own delivery drivers.

3. Typically 20%+

Interesting, I thought a dry slot was more in the southwest and legit meant dry. Where you'd have rain come from the Pacific and then just not hit a city/town for whatever reason. I've lived in a couple of places where that's happened but Pittsburgh gets rain. I'm no expert, just what I thought

No problem. Welcome to Pittsburgh!

They heard about the neighborhood with no snow…

The average snowfall for a season here is 45 inches. We just had 55 inches of snow in the winter of 2020-21 and 45 inches of snow last winter, so that's just not true.

So our experience with Fat Cat's was it used to be good, like pretty pretty good, then around a year ago things dipped and it topped out at a solid meh. Most times it sucked in the past year. We haven't tried it recently so we'll give it another shot with it being new owners. u/ddesigns said former owner was a douchebag and he definitely was, so we're pumped to see new ownership.
