A recent post to Pittsburgh’s Reddit page has gone viral after someone who says they are moving to the area wanted some advice on how to avoid the snow.
The user’s post titled, “Which Pittsburgh neighborhoods don’t receive snow?” says, “Relocating soon to the city from Florida. Would ideally like a snow-free neighborhood.”
Of course, there isn’t any part of the Pittsburgh area that remains snow-free when a storm comes though.
While he won’t be able to avoid the snow, there are some areas that will get hit harder and other areas where snow removal is more difficult.
The post received over 150 responses, many of them sarcastic in nature. Here are just a few:
“Which neighborhoods in Florida aren’t hot in the summer?”
“I know the answer but I’m not telling.
Me and my neighbors have created a snow-free oasis and we are not going to let you gentrifies come steal it.”
“McKees Rocks remains relatively temperate year round.”
“I’d check out the Spring Garden or Summer Hills neighborhoods. The names are pretty self-explanatory.”
Others believe the post was just a troll job, and someone tried to answer the question as best they could.
“If you’re are trying to ask for a neighborhood where snow is less of a problem, you want one of the Pittsburgh flat (would be considered on an incline anywhere but Pittsburgh) neighborhoods or at least one that is majority flat. A topography map would be your friend.
Real or not, the post has generated from pretty good answers.
