Western PA weather = huge pain in the butt

One of the reason I happy to go to CMU in Pittsburgh was the chance to railfan the NS Pittsburgh line and CSX's old B&O line. While the trains have lived up to there part of the bargin, the weather has been less than helpful. Heavy cloud cover seems to park over Pittsburgh. For the love of god, I just was to field test my new D70s, can I get one good weekend Mother Nature (according to Weather.com I'll have to wait at least 2 more)? Is anybody else about ready to go crazy...

Kid, about 200 miles to the north of you it gets "industrial strength" nasty, weather wise. We have "Lake effect snow" off Lakes Erie and Ontario, entirely dependent upon the wind direction. We went 33 days without sunshine recently-That [censored][X-)][banghead][V]s and you are crying about the weather, Boo Hoo,[D)] At least YOUR team is in the Super Bowl! which will be won by Seattle, 31-28![8D] Oh, Well The Steelers won, see the Thread (way off topic) with how some friends of mine in Altoona and a helper crew celebrated! The Pats will be back! The Bills are back, to their normal 5-11 selves, that is!
