We’ve found a great coping mechanism – planning an ultimate “Congratulations You Survived Another Pittsburgh Winter” trip:

• Round-trip flights to Florida are typically under $200 from Pittsburgh International Airport. Use tools like Momondo to find cheap flights to any warm climate.

• A drive to Richmond, Virginia, takes under five hours and beer lovers will be in heaven with the city’s 20+ breweries.
