Meteorologists are tracking a small snowstorm coming into western Pennsylvania that will bring about an inch of snow to the South Hills by Wednesday morning. Dennis Sims, a meteorologist at Air Science Consultants in Bridgeville, expects a “wet snow” to move into the South Hills of Pittsburgh around 10 p.m. Tuesday before it changes over to sleet overnight. “It will for some slippery travel later tonight,” Sims said. Temperatures are expected to hover around 30 degrees overnight before the sleet changes over to rain Wednesday morning.

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. Both stores hoped to have truckloads of new supplies by this weekend, but it's unclear if there will be any new sleds for sale. The recent snowfall and cold temperatures have made for perfect sledding conditions for local kids. The Upper St. Clair 3-hole golf course has been packed with sledders recently. Do you know of a store with sleds still in stock? Or do you have a sled alternative to share with local kids? Please share in the comments below. Also, share the photos you took of your kids sledding this past week in the media box above. Click the "Upload …

Light flurries around dawn Friday are expected to turn into heavier snow later in the afternoon and evening. Dennis Sims, a meteorologist at Air Science Consultants in Bridgeville, expects there to be “off-and-on light snow” during the morning in the South Hills of Pittsburgh before it gets heavier later in the day. That could bring 2-to-4 inches of snowfall in the area by Saturday afternoon. Some other forecasters are predicting 3-to-5 inches in the Pittsburgh area. “It’s just a matter of trying to time this thing and how it’s going to develop,” Sims said. Sims doesn’t expect more snowfall after that, but whatever is on the ground could remain until Christmas Day. That has Sims dubbing it a “Grey Christmas” this year. “It’s going to be a …

The American Red Cross has sent several volunteers from the South Hills of Pittsburgh to the places hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy. The Red Cross announced that it sent five volunteers, including a woman from Heidelberg, to Morgantown last week to help people affected by the large snowfall in the rural areas of West Virginia. Rose Marie Malizio of Heidelberg, Lauren Pucci of the South Hills, Cindy Chmel of Claysville, Ken Brown of South Hills, and John Breitweiser of South Park, were sent to West Virginia on Oct. 31.

It should come as no surprise that this week’s top news stories were dominated by Hurricane Sandy coverage. And while our friends along the East Coast took the brunt of the punishment, people in the Pittsburgh area were just as interested and concerned about how the unusual superstorm would affect us here. The top story of the week (and month, for that matter) was about most South Hills communities rescheduling Trick-or-Treating to Saturday. Only Carnegie kept it on the traditional Halloween night. Other top stories included forecasting when Sandy would hit the Pittsburgh area and the aftermath of it passing through western Pennsylvania. Two more stories included downed trees and powerlines that closed a Bridgeville road for hours and a …
