Pittsburghers have been braving extreme winter weather since the city’s earliest days, and this week’s storm was just the latest chapter in a long story. ❄️

During the brutal winter of 1780, Colonel Daniel Broadhead, commandant at Fort Pitt, described conditions so severe they stunned even longtime residents. Writing to George Washington in February 1780, he noted:

“Such a deep Snow & such ice has not been known at this place in the memory of the eldest Natives. Deer & Turkies die by hundreds for want of food, the Snow on the Alleghany & Laurel Hills is four feet deep.”

As we dig out from a storm of our own, it’s worth remembering the Revolutionary War patriots who endured extreme cold and scarce resources while stationed at Fort Pitt during that historic winter.

During this cold snap, our team is hard at work refreshing exhibits and displays for visitors. We look forward to welcoming you to the Fort when we reopen on March 1!
