This is old news but in case you haven’t seen this video from Ashley Klinger (aka productsofhearts) have a look on the TV above. Ashley is a dance major at Point Park University and was on her way to an audition when she got stranded overnight at the airport during Snowmageddon 2010. Her video has become a hit on YouTube and already racked up close to 25,000 views!
Does this remind you of that Tom Hanks movie Terminal?
My adventures in the Pittsburgh International Airport during the worst snow storm of the century. After arriving late for a flight at 7:40 PM to LGA I decided to stick around my gate until my flight at 5:40 and had a BLAST!
Welcome to Pittsburgh’s Official Parking Chair Museum. We’ve compiled this gallery to celebrate a local phenomenon that has become the universally accepted no parking sign in the Burgh – or should we say “sNOw parking” sign. Thanks to the Blizzard of 2010, the streets of Pittsburgh are starting to look like a cross between Ikea and a flea-market. Help us add some witty captions to the pictures below…
CreationRex over at CMU engaging in an epic snowball battle
While everyone was crying about the blizzard, a little bit of snow wasn’t stopping Creation Rex from having fun. The students at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh were being boring, so he took a stroll all the way over to CMU to see “how the smartypants were doing”.

The snow plows are doing a lousy job of clearing the streets, don’t wait for the news to tell you which streets are ok. CityZenMobile recently launched a free service called How’s My Street that allows you to instantly report road conditions and snow removal progress in Pittsburgh.

How’s My Street was invented by the creators of YinzCam and iBurgh. It’s easy to use and does a great job of spreading the word about which streets are passable or not passable. Just find your street on the map, click, then fill out the report. Your report is sent to Twitter so all of the @howsmystreet followers are automatically notified of local road conditions.
