That's what they say in Florida. It's more true there. If the weather forecast says it's going to rain at 2pm and be as cold as a refrigerator, there's a good chance it will be the same or similar conditions 3 hours later. Whereas in Florida it can be bright and sunny in the morning, out of nowhere dark clouds and rain for 1 hour, and immediately back to sunny.
New York City is slightly more north than Pittsburgh but at our latitude that difference has way less of an effect on weather than other bigger factors. NYC is at the edge of an ocean and that moderates temperatures significantly. We're solidly in the interior of a large continent. It's much harder for it to be as cold as a deepfreezer in NYC than Pittsburgh because of the warm wind and water currents they get from the south (which they get more of than we do). We are also much closer to the Great Lakes than NYC is, which means we have more of the moisture that evaporates from those lakes get dumped on us than them.
I moved to South Florida in '92 & never ever went back. Have a few relatives there but they don't maintain contact so I don't either. I used to live on the Southside on Carson. When I see pics of the older city neighborhoods, everything looks tired & old. Don't miss it at all, especially the winters.
Its Pittsburgh. Are you just figuring out the winters are unpredictable, gray, and there is sometimes snow? Where the fuck do you think you are? San Diego?
One of my favorite things about the area is that it can be thickly covered in fog when I get up, and over the course of cooking breakfast, it burns off and the city is revealed.
Not as much of a fan of wearing a t shirt last week, and sliding on ice trying to get into my driveway tonight!
This place literally has some of the worst weather in the entire country. Being geographically located in the northeast of the continent means by default we will get wet weather (off topic but it's the same reason that causes deserts to typically form on the edges of the tropics on the west sides of continents in both north and south hemispheres, and why ocean currents tend to move in a clockwise direction in both hemispheres, which interestingly is naturally caused by the direction and speed of rotation of the earth). We get the worst of in both the warm season and the cold season. With no ocean near us, we lose the moderating effect that oceans have on local weather, giving us both extreme frigid temperatures in the winter and extreme hot oppressive temperatures in the summer. Being southeast of a gigantic lake system, combined with the prevailing wind direction coming from the west, means that we will constantly have a humidifier blasting air towards us no matter what season we're in, since the jet stream circles west to east at our latitude year round.
As far as starting locations this is one of the worst as far as the US goes. Parts of Canada are worse, Siberia is definitely much worse, but at least here in the United States I prefer Alaska weather to this.
It’s winter & mountains effect storm movement
Its January in Western PA.
You must be new here....
I've lived here for 31 years actually. I mover to nyc in 99 idk why I came back
you know we can see your post history right
So your from NYC and your acting like your new to the weather in this part of the country? Its only 6 hours away.
I'm not from NYC I was born here. I'm saying I should've left this Canda area a long time ago
Bye
Welcome to western Pennsylvania, don’t like the weather? Wait 5 minutes it will change. 👍
It was 60 two days ago. Today is black ice and snow.
Tomorrow? I'm betting on a flood

Thank God for the snow.
Yeah what would we do without it? Jeeps would probably not be made in 4x4 and in... 4x2? yeah thats a thing
I live here because I enjoy suffering in gray.
I literally moved to NYC jn 99 and came back for idk why
U went north to avoid bad winters?

Sometimes I think I'm in San Francisco
Eh, only a dusting.
I was driving earlier today on Washington Blvd and its was doing a mix of rain/snow and I went around the bend and it was clear skies. So bizarre haha
day by glorious day.

Just wait for the day you are driving in sunshine and on the other side of the tunnel it is a downpour which is always a good time
I rode my bike today, the snow was very pretty as it fell for my ride.
Today was very beautiful, you are just to much of a curmudgeon to see it.

So that we don't have to live these other places. ;)

I've had enough
Yinzers. Northern WV.
The question is why.
Why? Just Why do we live here? Why did I move to NYC and come back here? Why didn't I move to the south?
