NWS: Wednesday—Freezing rain and sleet before 2 p.m. Then, snow.

Seems the local forecasters are much more on target this time.
Brief freezing rain/sleet happened around 9AM here, and by 2PM snowfall ends (for now).

I recognized the cemetery. I heard Century mall closed down at 2 pm. Do you know Bob? Is that true? How about other malls like South Hills Village and Monroeville Mall? Just wondering. I don't plan on going anywhere but others might be.

Margaret, the security offices at C3, SHV and Monroeville Mall all confirmed with me that they are still open today despite the weather.
