HEY! That’s how Utah seasons are! Winter, Road construction, and then of course Road construction in the dead heat of summer while you’re stuck in traffic….. the last one is the shortest but it feels like the longest.
There is a group on Facebook titled something similar to this about Ohio (where I live)…except there are actually four seasons, which are Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction.
Here in CT we have 5 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, MUD and Construction. To add to it, why do contractors in the Northeast wait until Mid-September to start a 16-week, 20-mile road project? But when I lived in the Seattle area it was one season – Rain, interrupted by occasional breaks of sunshine. They used a lot of wet-cure cement out there!
That one about the 4 seasons started as an e-mail going around titled “Manual for living in Ohio” it also included, “Ohio is the only place where you can get frost bite and die from heat exhaustion in the same day” hahaha yeah, I live there too.
“Welcome to Illinois. we have two seasons; Sliding all over iced over porly plowed roads, and construction. NO, the cubs haven’t won, the bulls suck since jordan bailed, and south of springfield is nothing but corn and hics. But it’s not the end of the world; you can see Iowa from here. Enjoy your stay!”
We have a similar saying here in Minnesota, “We have 3 seasons, Winter’s coming Winter’s here, and Road Construction” Although as of late, road construction has continued into the winter every so often.
I’m in Evanston (just north of Chicago), and although I don’t have a car, there’s plenty of road construction (destruction?) to disrupt my travels on bike.
Same in southern Ohio too (Dayton and Cinci). I think the winter section may vary depending on how far north you live, but is pretty true everywhere. It’s the universal complaint – traffic sucks due to construction.
It’s like this in Utah. I know someone who asked our government to change the state flower to the construction cone.
Utah has 2 seasons: Winter and Construction
Crazy! Those are the same seasons we have in Philadelphia!
Ain’t that the truth.
I think that this applies to just about every major city in the U.S…
Only in the north. I lived in Texas for almost 20 years and it’s pretty much summer AND road construction year round, give or take 6 weeks.
You know it’s winter when you see the construction workers out during the day time. Gotta love Texas!
welcome to the northern states
Exactly. But you should have included the “Cubs losing season” for Chicago.
ROFL Sox-f*ck yeah!
This is also true for Michigan…its either cold or they’re fixing the damn roads
Same for all of Canada. Winter slice would be bigger though.

GErmany too:D

Your comment
Lol so true. But for some reason I’ve never seen actual construction being done, just the machines sitting on the road.

you for got the “road crew slacking off” section
Switch around which slice is which, and you have Idaho. Curse you, Al Gore.

The winter slice should be much larger for Chicago. It is at least 25% if not 33%.
As a Chicagoan, this graph offends me. You forgot the “Roads clogged cause of sports” season.
This is mostly true… except that winter lasts longer.
It’s the same in quebec…
What what… I thought it was in Québec that there was two seasons only. L’hivers… pis les travaux routiers !
I’m in Evanston (just north of Chicago), and although I don’t have a car, there’s plenty of road construction (destruction?) to disrupt my travels on bike.
I’m in Evanston too!
You have that wrong. All the time is road construction season.
Hey, that’s the same seasons as Cleveland (and Pittsburg), except that ours’ are the other way around (60% winter, 40% construction).
Same in southern Ohio too (Dayton and Cinci). I think the winter section may vary depending on how far north you live, but is pretty true everywhere. It’s the universal complaint – traffic sucks due to construction.
Exactly the same in Holland
lol finally something Illinois and Wisconsin have in common.
It’s like this in Utah. I know someone who asked our government to change the state flower to the construction cone.
