Pennsylvanians may seem like a tough bunch (have you see what Eagles fans are capable of?), but take away their Wawa and announce that PennDOT is starting a major road project and you’ll see what truly terrified Pennsylvanians look like. Here are eight fears only Pennsylvanians understand.

The biggest weather events seem to show up in March when we think we’re safe from the horrors of winter.

Especially when you’re pounding Keystone Light like it’s your job.
6. The gunshots or fireworks game

In certain cities, you never really know.
