Guest post from our intrepid Board Member, Myra Falisz (a transplanted California girl who’s experiencing her first Pittsburgh winter in 15 years.)

Admittedly, it has made our lives beyond challenging this past week. Yet for that first day, among the beautiful stillness of it all, more than a few Polish Hill residents savored every wondrous moment.
