Dear Northerners,
December 8, 2017: Alabama and other Southern states were blanketed with snow when they woke up to head to work or school. It was record-setting. It was new because the last time we had snow in December was 2010. Usually, we get it after Christmas. February is the usual time and even then, it doesn’t stick and you can’t play in it. But, this time was different. This time, we were able to play in it. This time we were able to enjoy it. This time, we were able to take pictures AND not be able to see the ground beneath the snow, peeking through. This time was awesome.
Then, some of y’all had to get an attitude about us enjoying the snow.
“The snow y’all have is basically just rain. Why are y’all Instagramming this? This is nothing.”
“Why are y’all taking pictures in this snow? Y’all don’t know snow!”
“What is this white rain that is coming down?”
“If y’all are Instagraming this, why don’t y’all Instagram when there is a tornado and the sky is dreary and grey? It’s basically the same thing.”
Let us enjoy our snow. We don’t care that you have it better. We don’t care that you only moved down here because there was no snow. Go back to where you came from, then.
Sincerely,
Southerners
