A Cajun, a Tacoma, a Coullion & 11" snow, Fellas it don't get much better than this!

Down here we never get snow and we just got 11 inches. Time to start up a fire and sip some whiskey

(My TJ's nickname is "Coullion")

And here in the Midwest we got a very light dusting

 

Only a few of us will "get" the "Coullion" term.
My last name is Patin.

Got me laughing over here. Never thought I’d see that word typed out on the Internet. For reference I grew up in Pettit Caillou around a lot of coullions

 

what part of South Louisiana you calling home?

howdy Neighbor!
born and raised in Montegut

 

11”? You mean after it’s all shoveled into a lil pile?

 

Funny, spent a big part of my youth there. You may recognize some Of my family’s house then. Sure thought a hurricane would have wiped it out before I saw it covered in snow.

 

No 11 inches fell everywhere

 

Beautiful home, where is that Grand Isle? Mandeville?

edit never mind I see its down by Cocodrie

 

The Hub City

 

Actually thats Montegut and if Nutriaitch has been in his hometown in any of the past 30 yrs I pretty much guarantee he’s driven right in front of it. No doubt he and know some of the same people.

and for what it’s worth I graduated from USL so I know your territory pretty well too.

 

I just moved away about 2 years ago.
went back for a weekend last month.

 

I'm a USL Grad also, in fact I took both the Tacoma and the Jeep and went play in the snow behind Blackham Coliseum. I'll take some screen captures of the videos

 

I’m familiar with the word Cajun, but otherwise this thread is incomprehensible to me. Even google can’t help me with “hub city”.

Up here in twin cities (minneapolis/st Paul) today we finally got a snow storm big enough to motivate me to do figure eights in a parking lot. We have maybe an inch or two and it’s still coming down slowly. It’s the perfect temp to make great snow: 20F. It’s slippery but not too slippery and it’s predictable. It’s been a cold, dry, and boring winter until now.

 

Lafayette is in the middle of the state, also where the 2 main interstates cross. Up until the 1980's the city was the "Hub" of the oil industry. Now it's know more as a "Hub" of Information Technology and Computer Science.

The nickname has to do with the geological location and it was the location of all the major oil companies headquarters for a long time.

 

Hub city-native, coonass here. Always great to meet another north of I-10.
