Make/Read Reports on Snow Road Conditions on CMU Website.
Posted by Cliff Tuttle © 2010
Check out this cool website! City Zen Mobile. It enables you to report conditions, making comments, on your street and read what others report. Red means “Not passable” Green means “Clear”.
Of course, reports are on the honor system. Tell the truth! Somebody’s life and limb may depend upon it.

Powerless and Out in the Cold.
We were able to enlist help and get away. But what we found on the roads was just as grim. The City of Pittsburgh was crippled. Main roads untouched 24 hours after the snow began. Driving on four lane highways that felt like snowy open fields. Without four wheel drive, you’re going nowhere. Ice from compacted snow made for a crazy wild ride, like in an amusement park, violently lurching side to side. Roadblocks were everywhere, mostly consisting of stuck or abandoned vehicles.
