PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — It doesn't look like Pittsburgh will have a white Christmas, though some areas north woke up to about a half-inch to 1 inch of snow on Christmas Eve.
Snow showers overnight left some snow, mainly on grassy surfaces. Temperatures make it back near 40 on Tuesday, so wet roadways will be what's left.
There's a winter weather advisory in place for the ridges as well as Somerset and Garrett counties until 7 p.m. for a light glaze and freezing drizzle, though it could expire early. Icy conditions are possible in the Laurel Highlands and ridges through Tuesday afternoon.

Christmas Day highs will be in the low 40s with partly cloudy skies. There is a small chance for a sprinkle or flurry, but not accumulation or anything measurable. It's possible some snow could linger in areas north and in the Laurel Highlands and ridges, but only a flurry or two will fall on Christmas.
