The cleanup begins: Snow shovels, plows out in the City of Pittsburgh
COVERAGE. CARLOS, GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU SO MUCH, LILY, GOOD MORNING TO YOU. DRIVE SAFE OUT THERE. OF COURSE. NOW FOR FOLKS AT HOME, WE’RE IN THE STRIP DISTRICT RIGHT OFF PENN AVENUE RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET TO 16TH STREET. I WANTED TO STEP BACK TO REALLY KIND OF SHOW YOU WE’RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WAKING UP BRIGHT AND EARLY. WE ACTUALLY SEE A FEW PEOPLE SHOVELING SECTIONS OF THE SIDEWALKS. YOU CAN SEE THIS SIDEWALK IS BASICALLY KIND OF CLEARED OFF THERE, SALTED, DEFINITELY MAKING IT MUCH EASIER FOR FOLKS WHO ARE PLANNING ON WALKING. BUT IF YOU KIND OF MOVE OVER OUT TO THE ROADWAY, YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK EXACTLY HOW THAT ROADWAY LOOKS AS WELL. FOR PENN AVENUE, YOU CAN SEE IT’S MUCH BETTER COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. DEFINITELY MUCH MORE CLEAR. OF COURSE, IT’S ONLY A SINGLE LANE, SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. IF YOU’RE PLANNING ON COMING DOWN, DRIVE WITH CAUTION, BUT THAT’S KIND OF BEEN THE NAME OF THE GAME FOR A LOT OF THE ROADS HERE IN THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH. IT IS DEFINITELY A LOT OF THOSE MAIN ARTERIES CLEAR. WHILE THOSE SECONDARY ROADWAYS ARE STILL VERY MUCH COVERED UP. SO PLEASE DRIVE WITH CAUTION. AND AS WELL. THE COLD AIR IS NO JOKE. GUYS, PLEASE BUNDLE UP. BUT I’M GONNA SEND IT BACK TO THE STUDIO RIGHT NOW C
