Thx

An electric dethatcher might make it a bit easier; I can understand the reluctance to tackle that large of an area. The non-difficulty I was referring to was the game plan, certainly not the physical labor of the task

I found it here under Forecast Maps for the webpage of the Pittsburgh NWS .

Also piggybacking on this! I’m a teacher desperate to leave my position.

OH…gotta add one more thing. Jimmy Shank. There’s another abusive delusional shitbag, and should anyone ever ask you what you think about him…STAY AWAY. I don’t remember him being quite like that during the helter shelter days. Or the later witch haus. Regardless. He is now.

I’ve been following the SPC forecasts (which is just crazy for Friday) but I didn’t see this graphic on the local PGH NWS page. Is it there, just buried?

We typically do the trip to the north hills once a month and use the one at the Mt Lebo strip to fill in. It’s gotten better since it opened.

Where do you suggest up north?

Circle Inn in Crafton, Riley's Pour House in Carnegie, and Coach's on Banksville Rd all have really good wings on Wednesdays

Claiming train derailments are happening more and more is flat out not true.

Greenland melting could be a cause. It can cause a weaker Gulf Stream, without the heat from the Gulf moving north via water, it will over land. That will cause it to pass over us and make these wind events with stronger differences between hot and cold.

It's up there for me too

Never been much of anywhere especially Portland but...

Portland, and Oregon in general is stereotyped as quite Liberal and Progressive.

Pittsburgh being the child of heavily unionized industry, is very Democratic. Might make you feel at home.

The weather here kind of sucks. I think we set records for the most cloudy days. Not a huge problem if you take a lot of Vitamin D. We put SAD in the medical books (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Oregon is further north I think and so it might not be a big change.

We aren't in the national news for bad crap much. That's a plus.

If you are into cultural stuff we have a good Classical music station, The Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera is rather famous, and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra won some nifty awards lately.

Me personally, I used to attend Rock Concerts at the Civic Arena, and other venues. The Arena is gone but we do get major billings here all the time.

Ah! It is what it is. I'm a lifer, already bought my plot in Monroeville, so I guess I'm here to stay.

I tried to find links and just couldn't find a definitive one , but do a YouTube search for Rick Sebak, he is like the official Pittsburgh documentarian. You wanna know about Pittsburgh, he's the go to guy.

They are still investigating the causes behind the fire, and if they have obligations to pay out for any items. I didn’t have items appraised, so that’s really not helping me. I hate that they’re so deeply suspicious, it makes me want to throw my phone at the wall sometimes.

I guess if we're not getting snow, then some other extreme weather instead

Fuck that. That’s my least favorite weather.

UPMC for You

Ok thanks I guess??

Mother Nature's April Fool's joke! You thought the last weekend in March was bad. Hold my beer...and happy April Freaking Fool's Day.

My neighbor bought a bigger one this year, put it up before last Saturday, and now has a hole in it you could fit a bowling ball through. I feel bad for him.

This 💯 https://www.npr.org/2023/03/09/1161921856/there-are-about-3-u-s-train-derailments-per-day-they-arent-usually-major-disaste#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20there%20were%20more,roughly%20three%20derailments%20per%20day.

Exactly. Nothing new, people are just paying attention at the moment.
