A car wash was covered in long icicles as the freezing cold spell brought unusually frigid temperatures to southern USA.

Video, shared by Instagram user @guthrie.atx, shows a drive-through HEB car wash in Lakeway, a suburb of Austin, Texas, USA.

Long icicles hang from the overhead lines and a large brush roller. A piece of signage, covered in ice, appears to have fallen, and the ground is also covered in ice.

Pretty cool!  I wonder if Niagara is frozen yet?

Yeah, like a total re-pipe after fixing the collapsed sign.  Somebody forgot to drain the system before going home that night.

In North Dakota, they simply close the garage doors on either end and let the heaters keep the plumbing thawed...
