How outstanding is my girlfriend? Before we went out for a nice Valentineβs Day lunch she asked if it would be better to take the flowers she knew I was getting her down to the retired personsβ home to hand out. I thought there was no way theyβd let us in with covid. They did!
Wait for it! Time to call in the reinforcements when it comes to snow removal. This one will work for

Who's ready for some snow? Check out the scene from Erie over the weekend, when lake effect snow showers dumped nearly 14" of snow on the banks of Lake Erie. Yikes!

Donβt be alarmed by the strange bright orb in the sky. Iβm told itβs just something called βthe sun.β It brings us warmth and makes us feel good too. We should not fear it but should actually enjoy it by going outside into our yards...

On this Thanksgiving Day, I'd like to give thanks to all of you who follow and put up with my odd twitter posts along with my weather forecast. Thank you. I hope you were able to spend the day with family and those you love. Here's your videocast.

Iβm not trying to scare anyone. Iβm really not, but the next seven days could see a crazy amount of snow being forecast locally. Four separate winter storms possible through Tuesday.

Nearly 100 dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles confiscated by the NYPD were bulldozed Tuesday in New York City's Brooklyn borough. Mayor Eric Adams called the vehicles, which are illegal on the city's streets, "extremely dangerous."
I am stuck at Costco while they rotate my tires so Iβm walking around aimlessly.... I just saw that they now make a washer and dryer..... thatβs together... clothes go in... are washed... then come out dry. π€―

There is now about a 7 in 10 chance that Pittsburgh sees measurable snow on Friday into Saturday. This would be just the third time for measurable May snow in Pittsburgh since 1948.

Did you hear the bark in my forecast? It was this guy right here. Iβm dog πΆ sitting this week and cooper here has slowly changed his schedule to match mine. That means frequent play times and barks when heβs ready for another round of playing. πππ

I love this video so much as a teachable moment. Itβs a perfect example of why night tornadoes are so dangerous. You canβt see it at all. But itβs there. You can even see transformers popping...

Pittsburgh averages about 41" of snow per year. A Montana town saw more than 36" of snow over this past weekend. So question, would you rather get all the snow out of the way all at once instead of over a three month period?

An excessive heat watch (will be a warning starting tomorrow) is in effect from Monday through Friday due to a potential heat index above 100Β°. This will be the hottest weather we have seen in years.
I don't normally post raw model data, but this is straight IBM Graf 4k data from Friday evening for three points in Western, PA.
#KDKAwx
Don't tell the rest of the KDKA weather team....
Monday was the 8th 90Β° day of the year so far in Pittsburgh. Today will likely make the 9th day. Retweet if you're loving the heat! Favorite if you're over it.

@POTUS
You shouldn't have to pay more in taxes due to this money.... It is not counted as income and is looked at as a credit. This is also in addition to what you'd normally get. Normal yearly is 2k. If you have qualifying kids it starts at 3K. Should not pay MORE in taxes though
Sunday will be the 100th day of the year. In those 100 days Pittsburgh will have seen 4 sunny to mostly sunny days, 46 partly cloudy days, & 48 mostly cloudy to overcast days. Through today, out of 98 daysβ¦. 55 days have recorded measurable rain.

Shouldn't have been anything on Draymond... smh. Guy could have really hurt his ankle or fallen awkwardly and then gets ejected for trying to run down the floor.
Right now i am leaving our snow total map unchanged from yesterday. To be honest these numbers are on the low side of what model data is showing. If i were to change anything now all numbers would be going up....
