Not at all. Pittsburgh is south of the Great Lakes snowbelt. We had two storms that gave us about six inches of snow, and another few inches here and there. And that's nothing, compared to Buffalo or Cleveland or even southern New England. Winter didn't even start here until the second week in January (though it's been dammned reluctant to leave!)
The last time we got more than a foot of snow from one storm was in January of 1994.
In the summer, it rarely gets above 90, either. Southwestern Pennsylvania is very temperate. My relatives in Massachusetts had a day or two over 100 last summer.
One thing I don't like about this house - I don't like houses/condos with cathedral ceilings. The master bedroom has one and it's the coldest room in the house. We got a space heater, but I think we're going to invest in an additional wall heater with a thermostat for that room.
