You'd better bundle up this week, as bitterly cold temperatures are expected to move into Pittsburgh. There is also a chance of snow on Monday and Tuesday in the South Hills.
You'd better bundle up this week, as bitterly cold temperatures are expected to move into the Pittsburgh region, including Baldwin-Whitehall.

However, with warmer than usual temperatures this week, Krzywiecki expected the only accumulation to be on grassy areas. “The ground temps are well above freezing,” he said, “but as the air temperatures cool and approach freezing—that will be some time later this evening—there could be some slippery spots.
