We6 1212?

765-1212

I used to call 412-262-2170. NWS office in Moon. All you had to do was press 1 for the recorded daily forecast.

https://www.post-gazette.com/local/neighborhoods/2008/09/27/Gloomy-day-It-s-end-of-the-line-for-936-1212/stories/200809270148

It was printed on the front page of the Post-Gazette.

Oh, I would have said that one building in town with the forecast lights

That was for the cops I think. I remember memorizing that number as a young kid (it was on the side of police cars)

That would get you to the Pittsburgh Police.

936-1212 or as my mom would say WE6-1212

This is the answer!!!

Nice job! Thanks for playing! 🏆🌤⛈🌨🌥

I remember the yellow pages had a section with codes to call PG Link, an automated phone service. Maybe there was one from Channel 11 too in the Donnelly Directory, the competitor to the yellow pages?

Or you just waited <10 minutes for the local forecast on the Weather Channel.

I also appreciate the authenticity of your answer, you didn’t have to use the area code for local calls back then.

Here's a recording I made of it sometime in 2006:

PO5-1212 - police before 911.

There was also a number for Time that was sponsored by Duquesne Light but I forget the number. Maybe it was 333-9300???

936-1212 is correct!

Top of the Gulf building.

391-9500. It's still there.

Wow!! Thanks for the memory, we used to call 936-1212 every night before bed so we could get clothes out for school. I knew this number by heart (granted it was not a hard # to remember, but I was a young child).

4 Fact @ Pitt

Donnelly Directory isn't something I thought I'd remember. Thanks for unlocking that memory.

Wow I completely forgot about this. My brothers and I would always ask my Dad to call the “weather man” when the weather started to get nice.

We had Pitt Tele fact.
