Ice on Pittsburgh's Rivers

[tomboudreau]

NWS has put up some pictures of all the ice that has formed recently on the three rivers (Mon, Allegheny, and Ohio Rivers). This is the first time since I moved down here that I have seen this much ice on the rivers. Just wanted to share the pictures that they have posted on there website.

Yeah people have been saying that they havent seen ice on the Mon in years. Its has plenty on it now. Those pics are awesome. I dont remember ice being all the way down to Pike Island.

Hopefully, we dont have a rapid thaw this year or else, some flooding concerns could become a reality.

Yeah no doubt. Could be disasterous. We need alot more snow first though.

I remember visiting my grandparents in Pittsburgh. Their street was next to a cliff and you were able to see one of the rivers...it was always summertime so i never saw ice

Snow...what's snow? Haven't seen much of that this year. Maybe its that white stuff that falls out of the sky?

Maybe. I bet well have at least one decent snow before winter is over.

Sure doesn't look that way. System for next week now looks like it will be surpressed to the south. Might see a light coating of snow from the system, but it surely won't be something to write home about.
