To Snowy for School???

YJ-SuperbowlBalt

 

In the Pittsburgh Metro Area.. we have had snow something like 15 out of the last 16 days.  Not complaining.. this is Pittsburgh.. this is what happens here.

But then it’s all over the news:  the roads are snowy and dangerous - TOO DANGEROUS for anyone to travel – so SCHOOL IS CLOSED!

So what will parents do when that happensy?

They will take off work, cuz the kids are home.  And as soon as the kids get up, the parents will go out on those SAME ROADS, and drive a carload of kids to someplace where they can tube and sled ride for 7 hours!! By the way… that is 7 hours, out in the SAME cold that was too cold for them to wait for the bus for 1o minutes in the morning!!!!

What are we doing parents????  We’re making the Pittsburgh kids SOFT and major-league “excuse makers!”

Someone stop these school delays and cancellations,  Ya JAGOFFS!

(Author Disclaimer: I had to hurry up and post this so that I could get my kids to the park for tubing!)

Am I REALLY Driving In A Blizzard??

YJ-SnowyWindshield

So…. the other day, a good snow hit!  It was just before the evening rush-hour and many people left work and school early to beat the mess BUT found themselves in 2-hours of behind-the-salt-truck type traffic tie-ups.

When this stuff happens, it doesn’t take long for the tweets, Facebook posts and emails to come in with weather related Jagoffs!  For example, got this tweet from @DinnerPlanIt on Twitter some time ago…

“Guy on Veterans Bridge, roof, rear and side windows completely covered and only drivers side if the windshield cleared.”

Yep… that’s how these things go.  Like the driver in the pic above… lol…

The falling snow had been over for about an hour and the sun was out when this pic was taken.  So, our question is, how long did it take this lady to figure out that, as she was driving 45mph up Route 65, that, the snow blowing on her windshield WASN’T actually the blizzard???

“My, oh my… this snow is REALLY coming at my windshield FAST!!!!”

Well, indeed it was coming at ya fast.. cuz it was coming off your hood that is covered with 6-inches of snow!  Put your coat on, cover your hand in the sleeve and wipe that stuff off your car OR ask your neighbor with the snow blower to make a few swipes over your car, Ya Jagoff!!!

The Slow “Oh No It’s Snow” Driver

Still catching up on the snow-driving jagoffery from last week.

When you live in Pittsburgh you SHOULD become somewhat of a bad-road-aficionado. You know what we mean…when the ice and snow hits, Pittsburghers know to do only 15mph over the speed limit.

Last week, when 3-feet of snow fell in about 7 minutes, we found ourselves behind someone unfamiliar with Pittsburgh-winter-weather driving tactics. To be clear, we aren’t condoning reckless driving and we also understand that leaving our hopes in some local road crews to clear the roads is as much of a long shot as getting Ray Lewis to start the Baltimore chapter of Steeler Nation.

But we think that, the guy in the picture above, is indicative of the kind of ’Burgher that runs to their underground fallout bunker at the first snowflake that kisses the grass.  Pretty sure that, as the above picture was being taken, we were getting passed by a horse and buggy and kid on a Big Wheel!!!!

Notice that this driver is applying his brakes, GOING UP HILL, as we pass a 35mph sign.

Actually, the pic above is NOT EVEN a still photo.  It is actually a real-time video of what was going on.. it’s just that the guy was driving sooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow that it LOOKS like a still photo!!!!!!!!!!! (Kidding but that seemed funny)

Here’s our tip for this snow-flake-driving-fraidy-cat that’s ASCARED to drive on a snowflake….stock up on Charmin Ultra-Soft, milk and Schwebel’s bread in October so that you can stay the hell off the roads in December.  Honestly, we believe that you’re driving so slow that even your GPS lady is yelling,  “IT’S ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW, YA JAGOFF!”
