Pittsburgh, PA – Snowfall totals in Pittsburgh are running well above normal this season, with more than 51 inches already recorded and time still left before winter fully fades.
According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, the city has picked up 51.6 inches of snow through Wednesday, surpassing the seasonal average of 41.1 inches by 10.5 inches. That places this winter significantly above normal, even as the region transitions toward spring.
Historically, Pittsburgh only sees about 3 additional inches of snow after mid-March, suggesting the bulk of winter accumulation has likely already occurred. However, past seasons show late-season snow is still possible. In 2018, the city recorded an additional 17.8 inches after March 18, highlighting the potential for variability.
While no major snow events are currently expected, residents across Allegheny County and surrounding areas should remain prepared for occasional late-season systems that could bring light accumulation or brief travel impacts.
With temperatures trending milder into the weekend, any future snowfall would likely be short-lived. Still, officials advise staying alert for rapid changes as winter gradually gives way to spring across western Pennsylvania.
