You'd think the rapture had come or something. Everything closes and people freak out. You as a Yankee transplant will find this most amusing. Beware of rednecks in pickup trucks with their kids in tow on a sled!!

I know this has nothing to do with the original post, but the comment about rednecks in pickup trucks made me think of it.
You know that email that always gets passed around about the Yankees moving to the South? There's a joke in there that says something to the effect of "If you drive your car off into a ditch, just sit and wait. Within five minutes, a truckful of rednecks with logging chains will be along shortly. Don't disturb them, because this is what they live for." If you think this an exaggeration, just try it! I have some extreme rednecks in my family--namely my first cousin--and he has several tow chains of varying sizes in the back of his super-four-wheel drive pickup truck with those huge "mud ridin'" tires expressly for this reason. It's kind of sad, actually.
