The impact of Pittsburgh’s erratic winters on the snow removal business is significant and financially challenging. The changing winter patterns, with more precipitation but less snow, are making it difficult for snow plow drivers to rely on consistent income during the winter months. This shift is leading to a decline in the number of businesses and individuals willing to invest in snow removal equipment and services, as they struggle to make the expense worth their while. As a result, the snow removal industry is facing a tough and uncertain future in Pittsburgh.
