Surviving the Cold in the South
If you live up north you have no idea how crazy it can get in the south when it snows, melts and then freezes because up north you learn how to dress, walk and drive in this type of weather. Down south you have no idea how to do any of these things. You see the guy that has just slammed his car into a pole and gets out in shirt sleeves to look at the damage. You stop and ask him if he has a coat and he tells you he does but it’s back at the house. You ask him why his coat is at the house in 12 degrees weather and he says it’s because he didn’t plan on having to go any further than his car to the pizza place and then back home; there is no pre-planning involved here outside of the transportation departments.
It’s not their fault that this type of weather is beyond what they know and it would beyond mine as well had I been born and lived here all my life. As it is, I have been going out and getting things for my family and bringing it back because I am the only one experienced with this weather in my neighborhood. The good news is next week it get above freezing once again and life goes back to normal.
