You know it’s Winter in Pittsburgh when…

…your local Giant Eagle parking lot is empty at 5pm on a weekday or Noon on Sunday.

You know it’s either, the day before a Steeler Game, Spring/Summer, or a random Winter day above 50 when…

…your local Giant Eagle parking lot is filled with petite, attractive, sports mom’s, driving enormous SUVs, buzzing through the aisle, whipping in parking spaces, and forty million people of all ages are crossing the cross walk in 10 different directions holding up traffic because EVERYone knows we are SUPPOSED to yield to pedestrians…right?

I’ve come to realize that the reason the grocery parking lot is SO nuts on our random warm Winter days here in Pittsburgh is because everyone else is sick of being cooped up inside too and can’t wait to catch even a few rays of sunshine…especially because we know it will be short-lived til May.

Just wanted to share my amusement in how we tend to hibernate in Pittsburgh during Winter…believe me, I’m totally on the hibernation bandwagon. So, here is my “You know Dana is…when.”

You know Dana is SICK of  Winter when….

She wastes your time writing a random blog post, can’t stop complaining about the cold weather, being cooped up, AND posts an image that just makes the reality of Pittsburgh weather even more “not fun.”

Actually…I got on the weather tangent to lead into my next post…check back tomorrow for that one. 🙂  It has nothing to do with weather or Barbados, but it IS a little different… 🙂

Oh, and one more bit of irony…as I finish this post…I see the sun is actually peeking through on this Winter day in Pittsburgh… 🙂
