Joe,
I'm listening to Pittsburgh local radio and haven't heard anything about a cancellation.
I just shoveled the car out. We got about 12-14" here in Turtle Creek.

Howland not expecting snow to cancel game

Despite more than a foot of snow that fell in Washington yesterday to shut down the city and force the cancellation of at least two basketball games, Pitt Coach Ben Howland expects the Panthers to play Georgetown tonight at the MCI Center.
"It's a go as far as I'm concerned," he said. "I don't expect the game being canceled."
Pitt got into Washington Saturday night with a four-hour bus ride after a 73-61 loss to Seton Hall at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, N.J.
After practice yesterday at the MCI Center, Howland and some of the players helped push the bus out of a snowdrift. The team ate dinner at the hotel rather than at a restaurant.
The Wake Forest-Maryland game scheduled for last night was canceled because the referees couldn't make it. Today's NBA game between the Wizards and Raptors was postponed because Toronto couldn't fly into Washington.
Howland said he thinks the officials who were supposed to work Wake Forest-Maryland will stick around to handle the Pitt-Georgetown game.
"I'm more concerned about getting back to Pittsburgh Tuesday," Howland said.
