Default Snow at the EXPO??

Checking the forcast for next week it doesn't look very good right now... Temps are expected to stay around the freezing mark...

I think I'll hold off mounting my R-comps to my winter wheels... I might need the snows just to make it to the expo

Campers, bring warm sleeping bags!

Yeah the expo was scheduled for the same weekend of Carnegie Mellon's spring carnival...so you're pretty much guaranteed bad weather

Hopefully we'll get a more accurate forecast in the next 2-3 days. I checked accuweather.com and weather.com yesterday. Accuweather.com said in the low to mid 50s with some rain possible. Weather.com said low to mid 60s and cloudy.. I don't know who to believe..

And don't forget, this is the near Ohio, so if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.

I never trust the forecast for tomorrow, much less a week from now.

We just got another snow here in Boston, and there's more expected on Monday. I'm debating putting my all season tires back on the R for the drive to the Expo.

I'm not all that worried about snow at the event itself. The drive there and back is what I'm worrying about.

no one knows what the weather will be like in pittsburgh/beaverun, LEAST of all the weathermen. It's a really bad joke up there....i've seen them give live reports that were totally wrong..."sunny and mild" when it's snowing like a ****, for example. Don't worry, it's not like the R is a convertable

When it's 2 days to the event, i'll start paying attention to what they're saying, but i'll still be skeptical.

who ever posted the weathernetwork.com one, that is for erie, which is like 60 miles or more north and off the lake, and that snow is lake effect, it shouldn't effect us, i would be more worried about the rain.

Beaver Run and Erie? Not close at all. I'm seeing mid 60's and sun. Should be great weather.
