When it snows in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh averages 44.1 inches of snow a season at Pittsburgh International Airport (1991 to 2020 NOAA normals). The snowiest months are January (13.3 inches) and February (11.7 inches). December adds 7.7 inches and March 7.6, so the plowable season runs from the first week of December into late March.
The average first measurable snow in Pittsburgh is November 16. Source: 1991 to 2020 average, NOAA Northeast Regional Climate Center.

First snow in Pittsburgh averages November 16.
Pittsburgh driveways tilt. On a Squirrel Hill or Brookline grade a 2 inch trigger with salting added beats waiting for 6 inches, because the refreeze on the slope is the part that strands the car.

What trigger depth should I pick in Pittsburgh?
There is no published default; you pick 1, 2 or 3 inches when you book. Pittsburgh averages 44.1 inches a season, with the heaviest months January (13.3 inches) and February (11.7 inches), so a 2 inch trigger catches most plowable storms here while a 1 inch trigger also covers the light ones that glaze over by morning. NOAA data for your address confirms the depth, dispatch fires between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., and you can change the trigger any time in the app.
When does the plow come after a storm in Pittsburgh?
Storm-trigger plows in Pittsburgh dispatch once NOAA confirms your depth, usually between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., so the driveway is clear before the morning commute. A single plow booked during active snowfall typically arrives within 2 to 4 hours. For comparison, the city side: The city's Snow Angels program pairs residents 62 and older and people with disabilities with neighbors who shovel.
Who clears the sidewalk in Pittsburgh?
Tenants, occupants and owners clear the sidewalk within 24 hours after any snow, sleet or ice (City Code 419.03). Add walkway shoveling ($20) to the Pittsburgh booking and the plow visit covers the walk at the same time as the driveway.
How does the Plowz Pass math work in Pittsburgh?
The Pass is prepaid plowing credit: pay $300 and get $330, pay $600 and get $672, pay $1,200 and get $1,380. Each Pittsburgh plow comes off the balance at the posted per-plow price, so checkout is $0. Unused credit rolls to spring, nothing renews, and it is refundable in full before any service. Pass holders plow first on storm days. Passes come off sale at the first snow, which averages November 16 in Pittsburgh.
What if it snows twice in a day in Pittsburgh?
A second plow is a second plow at the posted price, and only if new accumulation crosses your trigger again after the first pass. If the storm depth changes between booking and arrival, the price re-tiers before the plow rolls, down as well as up. A refreeze pass comes with a text and a new window. Nobody in Pittsburgh pays for a storm that fizzled.
How do the photos work?
A time-stamped, geotagged photo of the cleared driveway hits your phone before you leave for work. Pass holders see the plow come off the balance at $0 checkout; pay-per-plow customers are charged for the plow that happened. If anything is off, a Plowz teammate picks it up the same day.
