Philly Launches 48-Hour Pothole Squad

Philadelphia launched a 22-member Road Warriors Pothole Squad on Monday, aiming to fix potholes within 48 hours of being reported.

The city fell short of its goal last year, repairing only 79% of potholes within three days, compared with its target of 90%.

The dedicated crews will focus solely on pothole repairs as colder weather arrives and freeze-thaw cycles start breaking up roads.

Residents can report potholes through Philly311 by phone, online, or through the city’s app.

First Flakes Possible Late This Week

Western Pennsylvania could see its first snow of the season late this week as a cold front sweeps across the state.

Rain moves in Thursday, with chances near 60% in Pittsburgh, before colder air could bring light snow Friday and Saturday, though chances are low. Highs fall from the low to mid-60s today to the low 40s by Friday in Pittsburgh, Erie, and State College. 

Pittsburgh’s first measurable snowfall typically arrives around the middle of November, according to weather records.

Is Your Car Insurance Loyalty Costing You?

Sticking with the same car insurance company for years might seem like a smart move. But being a loyal customer doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting the best rate.

The average U.S. driver pays about $194 a month for car insurance, and rates can vary significantly between insurers. Even if you’re happy with your current coverage, it may be worth seeing what other companies would charge.

Money’s free comparison tool lets you check rates from insurers in your area in just minutes. You might discover that comparable coverage is available for less.
