There's been much ado as of late regarding the city of Pittsburgh's ability to properly handle their responsibilities during a snowstorm. The mayor was off partying at Seven Springs for his birthday, he has some less than stellar folks in charge of various city departments & snow removal left a lot to be desired. A whole lot. Main roads such as Butler Street were still covered -- and quite dangerous -- more than 48 hours after the snow stopped falling. People were stuck in their homes, waiting for days to see a plow & salt truck. A man in Hazlewood actually died because paramedics couldn't get to his home due to lack of snow removal efforts. There were obviously some significant problems with the city's abilities to perform their duties & even a loss of life.
