The thing is around here we have several million people living in hilly terrain. There is just too much snow for the terrain & the population [keep in mind we are at near record levels now]. There are millions of places where you just can't plow it off to the sides & you can only push so much of it down the road before you run out of room there. Most suburbs don't have provisions to haul excess snow away. I doubt Pittsburgh has sufficient capacity to haul this much snow any time soon. Bottom line many secondary roads have not been plowed at all yet from the blizzard on Saturday. Many roads have only been plowed once or twice since then [the pics I took were about 15 minutes after we got plowed in our 300 home plan]. We have lots of state maintained roads that have several inches of packed snow on them. Now I'm only slightly concerned about our situation here in western PA. In VA, MD, DC & Baltimore, they are screwed big time. They got 1 to 2 feet more snow than we got. This could get quite ugly before it's over.
