I'm a lifer and haven't been happy since like the early 90's
I've been to a bunch of Steelers playoff games, including the ravens afc championship game. Also have been to many many whiteout games going back to when it started. Without a doubt the absolute most insane atmosphere I was ever at was the Cueto wildcard game. The sid break call is burned into my 10 year mind maybe more than any other childhood event. I remember absolutely everything from that moment.

Low of 36 here.  Mow #2 is in the cards for me today.  Gonna need my machete for some of these clumps. 

I mowed for the 5th time yesterday.

I had to look up Diggerland after your post yesterday...I hope you and your son had a great day! Man, I wish this existed or I knew about it 25+ years ago when our oldest son was very young. He was a construction truck fanatic and would have gone nuts at Diggerland!

Growing up, I went to Three Rivers once each summer with my uncle who was a Buccos fan. I was used to going to the Vet where big crowds were normal. We'd go out to Pittsburgh without tickets on a Sunday afternoon and I'd think we'd end up sitting up top in the outfield...nah. Some of those years we ended up right behind the dugout in the first row or two. Pirates drew very poorly considering how good they were back then. Pittsburgh has such a great baseball history but the city is definitely all about the Steelers. 

Having said that...when they were a wild card team several years ago the city was juiced.

some of my fondest memories are being in Pittsburgh from the mid 70s through about 81. My dad and I Pirates fans. Our parents would take us twice a year, once when they played the Phils (brothers team) And then the Reds (My moms team) most times we'd be at all games from Friday through Sunday. We would stay at the Hilton on the other side of the bridge. Opposing teams always stayed there. My brother and i would ride the elevators getting autographs.

@sauss06 - can we please agree to never talk about the 1971 and 1979 MLB seasons?

Thanks in advance! :)

That's awesome. Great memories. I mostly went during the 1980s. Didn't return to Pittsburgh again until 2011 when I started our now annual tradition of Steelers games with my son.

Yeah it's cloudy and miserable here. I decided to not take the trip to Presque Isle because I figured it would be cloudy and there's just no reason to place myself in a million people 2 and a half hours away for nothing.

Every school in the state is letting out for this. What a joke.

It looks like there's an area of clearing making a beeline for NW PA? On the GOES satellite it looks like the cloud deck will be gone in an hour or so. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm picking my daughter up at 130. The chance of seeing something is still better than anything she would be doing in school
