I remember those Dairy Queens (and the local competitors, in their little shacks) being closed all winter. Is that really only New England?

This list resonates with people from Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. People from those states don't consider CT, RI and MA to part of New England anyway, so if you didn't get the joke, that's okay.
ReplyDeleteI live in Texas and I thought it was weird last Wednesday when I slipped and slid on icy roads all the way to work, stayed there 8 hours and walked outside at 4:30 pm to find the temperature had risen to 76 degrees (a record high for the date). It was the strangest weather day I have ever experienced except for the day sometime in the early 90's when we had a freak snow storm on April 1st (no lie) that dumped 12 inches of snow through the night and early morning and by noon, it was completely melted and 75 degrees.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, DQ closing for the winter? That would be an outrage here in rural Texas. Every small town I know of has a DQ. They are an essential part of small town life.
