Ma belle Louisiane...

kaitlancollins CorinneAlanna you remember every time even a flurry of snow or an inch of rain fell on the promenade how dramatic we were- this is what I imagined 😂 SunnyStatePrivilege

I just use my Subaru Forester.

were they joyriding or did they genuinely think they couldn’t drive in that?

After Florida Lousiana has to be the wildest state

When they put the brakes on they'll fish 🐟tail

MuseWatson Mike Frank’s would look cool going down Chestnut Street!🤣

💕

Let me answer the question you all can't figure out. To stop it you turn sharply and accelerate. That will stop your forward momentum. And if you own an airboat you're probably very capable of driving it. It's a costly toy.

Y’all ever seen a polar bear do a double take? eddieleecapers

kaitlancollins Cool

I wonder what the wind chill is riding on that?

We SURE this isn't Florida?

Bring out the Cajun Navy to help Louisianans!

Kool idea very possible too.

Reverse the prop

🤦🏼‍♂️ JKCorden jimmykimmel

This is the most Louisianan thing I’ve ever seen and I live here

Oh, it's my dream to ride on one of those things! Not in the snow though.

And the breaks?

Omg💀

I want one

That's awesome.

This is literally 'The Day After Tomorrow' dooms day shit. North Pole cold current has gone crazy thanks to climate change. Y'all still rolling coal your diesel trucks like y'all don't give a damn. How does it feel to freeze?

You’d be surprised what folks from Louisiana will do. Plenty of things too outlandish for tv.

Cajun Strong

cliffschecter Smart. Effective.

This is how we do it in the Netherlands

Ice boating, interesting concept for winter sports.

papajawn7704 Yep that would happen here Cajuns ain’t got no shame 😂🤣😂🤣

😅😅😅😅

JWStillwater What kind of God would allow this?

cliffschecter How do they stop it or steer it? Looks like a bad accident waiting to happen.

kaitlancollins Anchor brakes?

I'm sure this started with a ' Y'all watch this'

Funny until they check the bottom of the boat and find out it’s damaged.

🤣

Crazy!

Good luck trying to stop quickly when a kid steps in its path 👍🏼

kaitlancollins Seriously creative! Hoping they stay safe and warm.

kaitlancollins I got $$$ that atleast one of them is still rocking flip flops!!!!

That works

I mean... technically it's just water

kaitlancollins Love it.

kaitlancollins That had to be one cold ride

Awesome

kaitlancollins Cool cool

kaitlancollins The snow and ice must be ripping apart the undercarriage. 😲

kaitlancollins Did that video start with, “Here, hold my beer.” ?

kaitlancollins Those airboats are also used for search and rrsgg CG in ppst hurricanes. Useful vehicles.

kaitlancollins Excellent!! This is a nice thing to see from Louisiana instead of censorship for someone that told the truth. Silly!!

kaitlancollins Cool

kaitlancollins Is it street legal? Lol !!!

kaitlancollins Cajun Navy!

kaitlancollins Funny! Thank you Kaitlan for lightening my mood

kaitlancollins Bleak bijou

WP9 Skins Gamers for sure

And what do they use for brakes?!!

That is using your God given grey matter !

How does he stop?

If that isn't the most Cajun stunt I ever did see.

How does it stop on ice?😳

God bless Louisiana

HouseOfShanel

Ingenuity at its best

my people. 😎

I would just love watching it take a corner.

Beer

Lol!!! God bless those rednecks. That is hilarious!

That is the hillbilly beer and whiskey run get their before the store close run

I'm happy to share my winters with them.

BreeNewsome So cool. We in Edinburgh had a couple of inches of snow on the ground for 2 or 3 days, and it's around 50 degrees out at 7.30 am.

Like to see him stop fast.

😄

That is totally cool!!

LSUTigersVoice that's awesome

Weeeeeeeeeeee 😏

StacheEsq Woohoo....Looks fun to me!

🥶🥶🥶

WritesHappy Someone add the Duelling Banjos song to this

When i heard it was going to snow i was like, ' i bet some redneck is going to find a way to make the best out of this' seeing how they act during hurricanes

This is a great idea if they wanted to help others to by bringing emergency blankets or food to neighbours that might need it.

Geauxtigers1986

Lord, leave it to Louisiana! 😄

Getting from a to b...

You know you might be a redneck if...

Someone open the door for the cat. She’s was a black cat but the snow turned her white ha ha LARZIK

You can see the grass poking through the snow. You don’t even need to have snow boots for such a light dusting.

BreeNewsome Brakes?

BreeNewsome Saw one of these today going by in Houston Texas too.

Nice new way to drive to work!

lp520

Full send

need comment from JW Stillwater PFTompkins ComedyBangBang

Anyone who has a problem with this needs to chill the F out.

Somebody's gonna need Obamacare sooner rather than later.

We use those for moose and caribou hunting, as well as fishing, up here in Alaska.

Ohhhh no...let me back in. Iz forgot...Iz a house cat.

Cc AngelaRozas

Cajun Navy.

A special need .. and what is surprising is that everything in America is available (from the needle to the missile)

BreeNewsome Southern Snowmobile!

This is crazy for real !🤔💯

BreeNewsome 😂 looks like fun!!

I fuckingTOLD YOU _prettyingreen

Louisiana becoming the new Florida 😂

'Southern U.S.' You mean South/ern America?

BreeNewsome Minnesota search n rescue teams use air boats for ice rescue missions

Clever.

Probably delivering beer.

Straight out of The Waterboy

I wonder if they stop at red lights

juicemane318 They use these in MN quite regularly. They work well for ice rescues.

Now that’s something you don’t see every day!

ingenuity

Does inbreeding make people stupider or not? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t think it was recorded by a person. It’s moving like a security camera.

Say what you like about rednecks.. they’re a highly adaptive species!

Ahh...they probably should save that fuel for a generator🤔

I know that's surprised the s*** out of y'all

Of course.

Do Alligators freeze? Serious question.

Sending it

It's almost as if there was a climate change crisis

beccamae_i

I am sure the insurance companies are going tonot pay anything on any claims for this one..is it a boat is it a car..what the heck...and the police could not pull them over to issue a speeding ticket OMG

😂😂

Rednecks

The snow is perfect camouflage for this cat

But someone was holding the camera and could have let the poor thing in sooner!

MarlaMayes Snowboard into the water, then surf back!

On another note, beautiful cat!

That's sad

Oh my God open the door to this cat it's snowing outside

Jfqq00 😢❤️

Franklin the cat: “Come on guys, let me back in, it’s cold out here.” “What is the white stuff anyway? We never had this before!” “I thought it was gonna be fun but this white stuff is cold man!” “Come on, I’m not joking anymore...let me in!”

sharon_kk

This would not happen if you did not look like a lump of snow.

Activity of the day bonding

This cat is not wearing a mask outdoors. This owner is incredibly foolish for risking more spreading of COVID-19

Cats are popular with disloyalty but give an applause for this white furry friend that he at least knows his home.

cool, the white cat playing in the snow ... I think he didn't like it very much, kkk

Thought cat turd locked him self out. Close call.

when the feline is sus!!!!! im making an among us joke

4 days of non stop rain. Had to let the dogs out, they didn't want to go, but the cats did. Change of heart after 2 minutes. Because they are cats!

Beauuuuutiful cat!😲

Looks like me right now here in Texas

So whoever is recording it thought it was more important than letting the cat back in immediately. I know I know I’m overthinking it.

Ohhh Nooo 😱

Who the hell was filming the poor car rather than just letting the cat inside

poor franklin 😊🐈

🥺❤

I FB

When U.S. conservatives blamed China for the global COVID-19 pandemic, Beijing, Democratic Party, MSM went on the offensive, unleashing a massive disinformation campaign to shift blame to America & Trump, labeling anything not inline with CCP as conspiracy theory discrediting it.

🤔😬 Could you blame him!

Bad boy. 😉

That cat was black before going out.

😡😡America 's Destruction-1)Biden is weak in health 2)Spending Money not on strengthening america but for Relief of poors in Wrong ways 3) Allowing Illegal Immigrants 4) Wasting Money in Who-Paris 5) Inefficient BLACK army chief , not as eligibility but for Black

He’s quite right—he would vanish in that stuff!

Chinchillazllla Frost 🤝 Franklin

All my exes live in Texas

Meanwhile here in San Diego, did winter start? Year round 72 avg and 0in of snow. Paradise.

Texas is desert ? Now plus snow ?

Crazy global warming.....lol

jfyfe That’s about the same amount of snow as we have here in Toronto. I hope people are able to stay warm. I’m not sure that folks in Texas have furnaces.

ClimateCrisis ClimateEmergency climatechange

Stay warm everyone....

Snow, surf, add some tequila and you got something!

DenverChannel It's cause you elected Ted Cruz
