So I'm sitting here at my desk looking out the window at a near white-out and wondering why I live here. It dawned on me that it takes a special breed to live in Pennsylvania. So with tongue firmly in cheek and apologies to Mr. Jeff Foxworthy, I thought I would give our non-Pennsylvanian brothers an insight into what it takes to be Pennsylvanian. It should be noted that many characteristics are shared by our Ohioan and New York (western half) brotheren
You know you are a true Pennsylvanian when:
1. "Vacation" means going up north past I-80 for the weekend.
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from "Heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
6. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
7. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
8. You know all 4 seasons: almost fall, winter, still winter and road construction.
9. You can identify a southern or eastern accent.
10. Your idea of creative landscaping is a concrete statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.
11. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.
12. Down South to you means MORGANTOWN W.V.
13. You go out to fish fry every Friday and bingo every Wednesday.
14. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
15. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
16. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."
17. You consider it a sport to sit in a tree stand all day long with a bow or a gun just to put food in your freezer
18. You're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Bradford is the coldest spot in the nation.
19. Your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March.
20. You instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year.
21. You have worn shorts, sunglasses and a parka at the same time.
22. You are in church and your priest or minister asks you to pray for the Steelers or Eagles, and wants to get you all home for 1 p.m. kickoff.
