Now our BIG snow storm February 5th and 6th 2010. Here is what the Post Gazette had to say about it...
The weekend's relentless, paralyzing snowstorm ended about noon Saturday and entered the record books as the fourth worst in the region's history, but its effects will linger for some time.
With an official accumulation of 21.1 inches at Pittsburgh International Airport, but higher in some areas, the storm that pummeled the mid-Atlantic states for nearly 24 hours continued to bedevil the region overnight and into today as state, county and municipal emergency declarations remained in effect.
Many roads remained slick and dangerous, and about 130,000 customers in southwestern Pennsylvania remained without electricity after heavy, moisture-laden snow felled trees and limbs, snapping electrical wires.
That situation was exacerbated by an overnight low expected to dip to 7 degrees. Nowhere in the foreseeable future is the temperature expected to rise above freezing, meaning the nearly 2 feet of snow won't be melting anytime soon.
PS. we live 10 minutes from the airport if that gives you any idea of how many inches we got.
Peyton and I had fun walking down the street in snow up to our knees to check things out!
Since we are on the subject of snow I thought I would post some of our sledding pictures too...
By the way, I have ONE fall picture to share. Why is that? It was certainly beautiful, but I blinked and I missed it! Seriously, the trees turned to glourious shades of red, orange, and yellow but by the time I got my camera out they were already dead and shedding :O(. Next year I will know to stay on top of it LOL.
