Gather ’round, my friends! A winter storm is on the horizon, ready to descend upon Pittsburgh with a blanket of snow this coming Saturday.

As per the magical weather forecasters at AccuWeather, we’re bracing ourselves for a substantial 2 to 4 inches of snowfall, commencing Saturday afternoon. Brace yourselves for treacherous and slushy roads. By the time Sunday evening arrives, we might find ourselves buried under a whopping 3 to 6 inches of snow.

But hold on just a minute – don’t go reaching for your snow shovels just yet. Other weather prophets are casting doubt on AccuWeather’s wintry predictions. The National Weather Service remains nonchalant, anticipating no more than 2 inches. And, let’s not forget The Weather Channel, playing coy and advising us to “wait and see”, with expectations of less than an inch.

Before you begin construction on your very own snow fortress, allow me to offer a glimmer of hope – this snowy spectacle will soon be just a memory come early next week. Yes, bid adieu to the snow as temperatures climb to the upper 30s and mid-40s by Monday and Tuesday.

So, whether you’re eagerly awaiting the blizzard or chanting for warmer weather, hold onto your hats and keep those snow boots at the ready, Pittsburgh. It’s shaping up to be a weekend full of twists and turns, that’s for certain.
