The National Weather Service's winter storm warning for the Pittsburgh area remains in effect through 5 p.m. on Wednesday, but initial forecasts seem to have overestimated the amount of snow for the region.
Nevertheless, many schools in and near the Baldwin-Whitehall area delayed the start of classes on Wednesday or canceled classes altogether.
Here's a look at, roughly, the Baldwin-Whitehall forecast through Thursday morning from the National Weather Service:
- Wednesday—Snow, mainly before 1 p.m. High near 37. Northeast wind of 8 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90 percent. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is possible.
- Wednesday Night—A slight chance of snow showers before 7 p.m., then scattered flurries after 8 p.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 27. North wind of around 10 mph.
- Thursday—Partly sunny, with a high near 40. Northwest wind of 10 to 15 mph.
This forecast, of course, is subject to change.

Yeah, the two worst things about driving on Streets Run Rd: trains and school buses. I'm grinding my teeth just looking at the photo.

Thanks for the update! The 1-3 inches they first thought is now up to 5-8 inches in the South Hills. Crazy! Good to know for planning purposes! Be safe, everyone!

We stopped after our lovely lunch today and picked up all the fixin's for some homemade soup to warm us during this storm. Looking forward to slightly warmer days following, March is always such a potpourri weatherwise!

Robert – with your approval, I would like to commend the previously thought “uncommendable” Snow People of our great Whitehall Boro.
Today as I awoke to the glorious snow, I transcended my driveway to find perfectly clear streets. I would like to thank the him/hers of the Boro’s Snow People crew for this.
It may be dually noted that this is the perceived last snow fall of the season, so the Boro unloaded all of its salt supplies but today was the first day that I have ever felt like Baby Jesus riding through the streets of Whitehall on my way to Giant Eagle to buy Jujubes for Uncle Helix.
God bless all involved! Stay safe today and always thank people for what they do as you never know when you are going to need that person to bail you out of proverbial jail.

I am stewing right now in regards to my brother Yemargo selling me these re-treaded tires!!! He tell me..."you will be fine Yergi, why worry about snow?" I tell you why, Yemargo, because its slippery under tires that have no tread!!! I feel as if he had this planned out from the start!! I rely on him quite a bit for my weather reports since my cable was shut off and he tell me "Its fine, its fine, do not lose sleep over this those tires I sold you will hold up" If anyone runs into my Yemargo, and he tries selling tires to you, you tell him to hit the goat path, for that is what he is!!!!!!!! Provost was a slippery one.
I do appreciate the efforts from the Boro as Sasafras has stated (still not sure about your name and meaning) but I should have known better to buy those tires.
