Pittsburgh International Airport’s snow fighters arrived in Erie on Saturday morning to help keep their airport clear amid a massive weekend snowstorm.
PIT answered the call for mutual aid assistance from Erie International Airport by sending a crew of five snow fighters to help clear the airfield there. The crew left Pittsburgh at 6 a.m. Saturday morning and helped spell snow fighters in Erie, adding to the force there.
The lake-effect snowstorm that is pummeling Erie dumped nearly 3 feet of snow in some areas, including 22.6 inches of snow on Friday alone, breaking Erie’s one-day record snow total of 21.8 inches that fell Dec. 26, 2017, according to the Erie Times-News.
