These photos of the deep freeze will make you move in with your Florida grandmother
Do you have any relatives in Florida, Los Angeles or the Caribbean? Now is an excellent time to catch up.
New Year's 2018 was marked by bone-chillingly low, sad temperatures in much of the continental United States. New York City had its coldest New Years since 1962. Chicago's New Year's, which was measured at about zero degrees right before midnight, was its most frigid since 1969. Temperatures in some parts of the United States hit 50 degrees below Farenheit.
Thankfully, these photos of places and people looking just as miserable as us give us warmth.
Take a look at these frozen fountains and rejoice, because you are likely inside reading this.
These men from Michigan took advantage of the deep freeze to build a moving ice carousel which, damn.
Say what you will, but this deep freeze is a real victory for people who love the great indoors. Congrats.
