PlowSite Homepage Upgrade
Hello again PlowSite community,
I wanted to post a quick note to let you know that the homepage of PlowSite will experience a major upgrade next week. We’re always looking for ways to improve our users’ experience on the site, and felt that this upgrade was needed and long overdue.
With this upgrade, you’ll now see the top trending posts as soon as you visit PlowSite, and these will be updated throughout the day. You can also easily access videos and photos. As always, we encourage you to include videos and photos in your own posts to share with your fellow PlowSite users.
Be assured that all of the forums, content and data that you’ve been accustomed to will remain intact, as will all current site features. You’ll also be able to easily access the full list of forums directly from our new homepage.
We’re excited to bring you this change, and look forward to hearing your feedback.
Thanks, PlowSite Team

National Weather Service should be able to tell you. They have a web site, and the guys here will be able to tell you. Or... call one of the local TV stations and ask the local weather dude (or dudette), they will know right off.
I think its about 35" - average.

Snowfall website
Here's a site that gives average annual snowfall for a bunch of cities, as well as montly averages and tells how many years they have used to get the average.

Keep in mind that the site Alan refers to gives the average at the local airports for those cities listed. It IS a good starting point, however.... Things change as you move around, and Pittsburgh has a lot of hills and valleys - so there may be some considerable differences depending upon exactly where your market is located in the greater Pittburgh area. Example: if you're in the North Hills area, the snowfall total will be different than at the Pitt Airport. In Erie, the airport is located right next to the lake and the average snowfall there is 85".... but, if you go just three miles inland the "average" triples because of the lake effect and the 900 foot rise in elevation topography. Same thing happens in Connecticut and Mass, depending upon where the snowfall originates.
Your local TV weatherman (even though he cannot predict the weather to save his life), should know the nuances of the greater Pittsburgh area and the differences in the different areas of the area.

National Weather Service in Pittsburgh has a pretty good looking web page at:

you might find the answer to your question there.

For northern areas it lists precip in melted totals so I dont know how much was from snow or rain.

Snow/water ratio is different in many places. Sometimes its 1:1 and other times higher than 10:1.

Well I dont believe its ever 1:1. I have seen it as low as 8:1 and as high as 15:1 in very dry conditions. As in dry cold air with very low dew points.
