I’ve lived in NY all my life. I enjoy the cold and all the snow that comes with it, for the short time it is here. However, when it snows something happens to the general driving population.
I call it the “Johnny Snow Effect”.
“Johnny”, who drives a 6mpg SUV, still finds it necessary to drive 80mph on the highway in a blizzard. There is nothing more gratifying than Johnny passing you like you are standing still and three minutes later passing him in a ditch, his tire tracks indicating he did four 360’s before hurtling off the road. Why does Johnny’s IQ, on seeing the first snowflake, drop into the mid teens, similar to the temperature? For whatever reason seeing the snow flakes causes Johnny to flip out, drives 80 home, makes a dining room set from the bones of his neighbors and begin to eat his own shit.
Why? I don’t get it.
I enjoy driving fast. I own a car that will eventually get me a ticket for driving like a dick. But when it snows I DON’T FUCK WITH MOTHER NATURE. Another symptom of the “Johnny Snow Effect” is the constant complaining about snow. “It’s too cold” or “OMG the snow is terrible”. Shut the fuck up - you are an adult, stop complaining and MOVE! There is an entire country for you to live in. Stop breathing my air here in NY and live with the rednecks down in the south.
