Frost... DEFROST... come on people... this is not a difficult task... clear your windows before you start driving!

in the words of John Snow... WINTER IS COMING!

yes... winter is coming

a balmy December with record highs is behind us

January is here and our temperatures are winter-esque

with this cold comes ice, snow, and frost

this morning when I walked the dog there was a crust of frost on people's front lawns

and the parked cars windshields were covered in frost crystals

Manor Park is very different than Mount Pleasant

not nearly as wooded

more yards and a great deal more flat

as I walked my dogs I encountered a series of drivers

so many of the drivers driving in a panic like Dagwood Bumstead trying to get pregnant Blondie to the hospital in time to deliver the baby

so many windows frosted on the outside and foggy on the inside

DEFROST!
ICE SCRAPER

is this so hard?
MAKE IT HAPPEN!

these drivers are a hazard to any and all around them

pedestrians and cyclists already go unseen

but if the driver can not see

well... the unseen are beyond invisible

how do we get the word out?
PSA?

it would seem that police have better things to do than pull over each and every car that fails to clear its windows

but really... this is a real hazard

it is just a matter of luck that no one is run down by these people incapable of operating the defrost in their cars

DEFROST?

is it that hard?
come on people

the squiggly lines that look like a bacon icon

along with the heat and the fan and you are all set

make it happen

WABA? DDOT?
DC Metropolitan Police?

it is a small step that would make big improvements to making the streets more safe

kids walking to school at this time are vulnerable to the the people who are either idiots or assholes

either they do not know how to operate their defrost or they do not care

they are definitely either an idiot or an asshole

Frost

Idiot or Asshole
