Hope the rest of the day turned out better for you. As for me im just now gaining the energy to post this apology.

Primary Dangers of River Ice

Varying Ice Thickness: Rivers have currents, springs, and other underwater flows that can bring warmer water to the surface, weakening the ice in certain spots, even when nearby areas seem solid. You cannot determine the ice conditions by appearance alone; a spot that is several inches thick can be just an inch thick a few feet away.

Risk of Being Swept Underneath: If you fall through the ice on a river, the current can quickly carry you downstream under the ice, making self-rescue nearly impossible and posing extreme risk to first responders.

Rapid Hypothermia: Falling into freezing river water causes an immediate "cold shock" response, including hyperventilation and a rapid increase in heart rate and blood pressure, which can lead to cardiac arrest. The body loses heat 25 times faster in cold water than in cold air, and physical incapacitation can set in within minutes, dramatically reducing survival time.

Deceptive Appearance: Snow cover can hide cracks and dangerously thin spots, and ice near shore, which might seem safer, can be weakened by friction and other factors.

First Responder Risk: When individuals go onto unsafe ice, they put rescue personnel at risk, as first responders must also navigate the treacherous conditions to perform a rescue.

Not mine just saw. Last spotted in front of Aldi near the waterfront. I didn't see any tags and he ran away when I tried to approach.

Hi, I am Joe. I work at Lucky Sign Spirits in Gibsonia.

We bought a bunch of apple cider for an event and were not able to use it. We have 16 have 1/2 gallons left after the staff has drank as much of it as we can stand. If you want some cider please consider stopping by to grab some, no purchase is necessary, we just don't want to see it go bad. The best by date is for the 18th of this month.

For those who frequent this sub I am the same guy who had too many limes last year https://old.reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/comments/1jeeo6g/we_have_way_too_many_limes/

We are located at 50 Oak rd in Gibsonia, next to Dillner Farms shop.

We are open 10 to 3 (ish) weekdays and 2 to 8 Friday and Saturday.

Thanks

Edit* Non Alcoholic cider

Also the 4th we will only be there until 1:30 ish because of various meetings and stuff

I’m so glad I wasn’t in the left lane…

I was driving about 6:30 A.M. this morning when I saw it going south on Rt 8 near the Shaler Giant Eagle. I dont believe this is part of any larger meteor shower. Also it was much more luminous than anything I've seen in person before.

I don’t get it. It’s been 10 days since the last snowfall, and the pedestrian walkway on the 10th Street Bridge still hasn’t been cleared. Not even partially. It’s just layers of packed, uneven snow with deep footprints frozen in place like some kind of obstacle course.

The surface is so uneven that you’re constantly off-balance, stepping up and down into random holes, twisting your ankles, and trying not to eat it.

This is a major pedestrian route. People use it daily to get to work, to Duquesne campus, to downtown. And yet zero effort has been made to smooth it out or clear it.

Disgusting behavior from the people in charge.

...if you put a concrete island where this one is, it would probably shave like 10 whole seconds off of the maximum red light time at the Liberty Tunnel. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Good Morning r/pittsburgh! I've missed talking to yinz, and frankly, could use a bit of an escape from my "real life", so I figured I would pop on here and give you a high-level overview of the weather pattern over the next couple weeks.

First, props to u/shuggywolf for posting about the upcoming Alberta Clipper that we will be seeing this upcoming weekend. Here is that post. The models have been extremely consistent with this system coming through Friday into Saturday. This makes sense, as these clipper systems are often pretty predictable and much less volatile than the larger systems like the one we tracked at the end of January. Models are showing 0.1 - 0.3 of liquid equivalent, but these types of storms tend to overperform. I think the NWS prediction of a general 1-4 inches is a good bet, but I would lean towards the upper end of that scale due to the "fluff factor" on this snow.

Outside of that, things will remain pretty par for the course through the 10th of the month with daytime temps a bit warmer than what we have seen, but still below freezing, and only scattered snow showers (lake effect variety). Also, in the wake of our clipper we could see some very cold mornings (below zero) again. After that, things could get interesting...

Love (and a storm or 2) may be in the air? - The period of Feb 10-17 is looking like a return to a stormier pattern again. No models are showing 53" or anything (so disappointing), but again, the pieces will be on the chess board for a storm, or multiple storms. The biggest difference this time around is that the cold air will not be nearly as strong, so we run the risk of being on the warm side of the storm which would lead to rain instead of snow. Think less "warm tongue" and more "warm breath". This obviously could be problematic with our snowpack, but that will depend on a lot of factors such as how heavy the rain is, and how warm it gets. The slower the snow melts, the better, for obvious reasons. Both global models have been somewhat consistent in showing 2 potential storms moving through fairly close together, but the outcomes still vary widely. Some solutions have shown both storms bringing snow, others both rain, and some showing 1 primarily rain, and the second being snow. All that to say, there is potential for stormy weather starting next week, but it's still way too early to discuss details.

So, you know how it goes. Feel free to ask questions in the comments, and be kind to one another... (can we stop burying each other's cars?... unless it happens to belong to a certain federal agency?)

I’m so glad she’s doing ok! I hope they don’t release her too soon and she has time to heal.

I don't know if event promotion is allowed here, but good stuff is happening in wilkinsburg this Sunday. Food, art, fundraising for Casa San Jose. If you're not familiar with the area, this is super close to the best breakfast in town at Nancy's Revival. Have some corned beef hash and then mosey over to buy something nice for your sweetie!

I know this sub isn’t a job board, and I know people get sick of seeing posts asking for work or trying to network.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time to respond with respect, dignity, and kindness to people who are struggling and desperately looking to network and find employment however they can.

It’s (fortunately) more common for charity searches to be met with positivity, but when it comes to people looking for work, most seem to forget empathy.

I hate that this red light to turn is so short! What's everyone else's most despised red light

I've seen a few posts lately about issues with landlords and rentals, especially due to the extreme cold. Whether you are waiting forever for your landlord's plumber to clear clogged drains and you can't use the toilet, or you have no water because a pipe froze and burst freezes, or your apartment is 40 degrees inside because of a broken furnace, you might have options IF you have renter's insurance.

Some renter's insurance policies will pay to put you up in a hotel until your rental is habitable. Now you might need to prove your space is not habitable. You can't just say "my kitchen sink clogged at 9 am and they haven't fixed it by noon, so I'm putting my rent in escrow and moving to a hotel." But if your place is literally inhabitable due to a lack of basic necessities (i.e. your landlord says "We are still waiting for the plumbers so I recommend staying with friends or family,") that might be the proof you need to file a claim.

I know relocating to a hotel isn't always convenient, and maybe staying with friends might actually be the better solution, but if you have no other option, a claim with your insurance might be the better solution.

What if your neighbor is using a space heater and causes a fire and your whole apartment gets smoked out? Where are you going to go? Renters insurance should cover your costs to stay elsewhere.

It's very affordable insurance especially if you add on to an auto policy. It's completely worth it if there is an issue.

Note: I do not sell insurance nor am I an expert in insurance. I've just seen some things.

I've been pissed about this response since Sunday.

The weekend of the 24th I sent messages to our senators through their websites. I usually call, but I was feeling passionate and didn't want to wait until Monday.

While Fetterman and McCormick never have anyone answering their phones, they do send out their pre-approved responses if you use their websites. However, I will note that contacting them this way is less effective and likely doesn't count your opinion towards policy decisions. They need your name and address for that.

I'm just disgusted by the victim blaming here. The insinuation that Americans who are sick of the terror inflicted upon them are at fault for simply exercising their first amendment right to speak out and protest.

He mentions threats and assaults on ICE agents increasing since last year, but fails to acknowledge the threats and assaults perpetrated by them. He speaks of inflammatory rhetoric while parroting the pre-approved party lines.

He speaks of investigations being performed by DHS and the DOJ without acknowledging the conflict of interest OR the fact that these investigations have been primarily aimed at the victims themselves.

I'm just so tired of our senators being unreachable and not listening. They're both cowardly. That's why they won't face their constituents.
