C6 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019

Default Southerners need help from our Northen brethren

I understand yall were just wanting to share your winter fun with the South. Well mission complete!!

We have an inch of ice all over N Texas. Enough is enough. 3 days of this cap is more than any true Southerner can be expected to endure.

Here is what I want/need all my Northern friends to do. All need to go outside and face south. In unison all must take a deep breath to suck all this cold crap back up North and restore the natural balance of Nature.

I want to drive my C6....no I NEED to drive my C6. So please help a brother out....OK?

I know all of my Northern brethren feel for me and will help me out with this simple request.
Thanks!!

Everyone raise your hand if you have had enough of this crap.

Move to Austin, Texas. No snow, no freezing rain this year but it is cold (29° this AM).

Want snow? Try Hancock, Michigan. Average of over 18 FEET of snow a year. They have had snow 9 months of the year.

Want cold? My hometown Cedar Falls, Iowa was 34° Below Zero in 1962.

If you endure it for another three or four months, we might start to feel just a little bit sorry for you.....

They use a mix of sand and salt. Heck most of us stay home. Can't drive on solid ice.

Most here can't drive on snow either.

Now that hurts my feelings. I take back my invite to move to TEXAS.

Three or four months??? Are you crazy? That would kill a Texan.
Three or four days is about our max.

Grew up in the Southeast but now reside in CT thanks to Military orders.

This was last year so I feel your pain, but have to laugh! Pics taken from one evening to the next morning...
