A storm that could bring snow and freezing rain is expected to hit the area shortly after midnight Monday.
The Monday morning rush hour is shaping up to be troublesome with a storm that could bring snow and freezing rain to the South Hills of Pittsburgh.

This storm comes just a few days after the South Hills were hit with about 5 inches of snow Friday and Saturday. The storm caused numerous traffic accidents and delays around the area.

Stores in and around the South Hills can't keep up with the demand for sleds during this snowy weather.
Stores in and around the South Hills can't keep up with the demand for sleds. Dick's Sporting Goods at South Hills Village has no sleds left in stock. The same story over at Toys R Us.
