6 December 2025
As I mentioned on Thursday, Pittsburgh isn’t usually this cold in early December and certainly not for long. But ever since it snowed Tuesday morning the temperature has not ventured above freezing, though it will finally do so later today.
On Monday it was comfortably above freezing when I saw sun shining through yellow-green willow leaves at the Beaver River in Rochester, PA.
On Tuesday all the trees were coated in snow and so was the rose (photo at top). It was hazardous weather for a flower.
On Thursday sun lit Flagstaff Hill before the night turned quite cold.
Today and tomorrow the snow will melt but then we’re heading back into a deep freeze Monday night. Terrible weather for a rose.
Beautiful! Happy Weekend, Kate!
Lovely photos. I especially like the snow covered trees in front of the Cathedral of Learning!
