These Photos Show Freezing Cold Places Are Far From Winter Wonderlands

You Can’t Avoid Karma

The endless search for parking is a universal frustration for drivers everywhere. When freezing rain is in the forecast, finding a covered parking spot becomes a top priority—unless that spot comes with its own set of problems. For instance, it might be striped, making it technically off-limits, or worse, located directly under a leaky pipe

One driver learned this the hard way when they ignored the rules and parked in a striped area, only to end up with a bigger mess than if they had braved the elements outside. Why would one take such risk? Striped parking zones exist for a reason, whether it’s safety, accessibility, or maintenance. Next time you’re tempted to park in a restricted area, ask yourself: Is it worth the hassle? Following the rules often saves you from unnecessary trouble. After all, sometimes the easiest choice isn’t the smartest one.
