Is this where people wash their ice trays?
A Texas car wash turned into an ice cave as temperatures plummeted during the historic cyclone that swept the United States. Footage of an icicle-covered cleaning station is currently blowing up on Instagram.
"I went looking for icicles all morning and @heb had the best!!" Mercury drops from 10 degrees to 12 degrees on Austin's Lakeway on Dec. 24 The Jam Press reported that Matt Guthrie wrote in the caption of a clip of the ride's ice parade, which was filmed at the time.
A spooky footage shows the entrance to the HEB car wash, completely overgrown with crystalline stalagmites like the ice caves of Wampa from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Or it could be the car wash that overcharged Elsa from Frozen with protective wax.

Meanwhile, part of the billboard seems to have fallen to the frozen ground and shattered.
The frozen Subaru shower station elicited a surprise response from Instagram viewers with one comment: "Wow, stop washing the car!"
"Woof. I think it's hard to keep a drop of water in a place like this," said another.
The inadvertent Ice Festival took place amid a nationwide bomb cyclone that brought subzero temperatures, blizzards and high winds over Christmas weekend.
One of the hardest-hit areas was western New York, where at least 33 people were killed in what Governor Kathy Hochul called the "blizzard of the century."
An unprecedented storm left 43 inches of snow covering the area as of 7 a.m. Sunday, freezing parts of Niagara Falls.
