If you’re in the Midwest right now, i feel very sorry for you. Temperatures are something like -50 and entire cities are being transformed into frozen wonderlands. The only upside is that the extreme weather is making for some amazing pictures. Take a look at some of our favorites below.

I’ve lived in Chicago for over 20 years and have never seen the river frozen completely solid like this. Crazy cold. Swipe through to see some close ups of the bridges (and one of the train).

When everyone on the plane is a little freaked out by what they see out the window… and you look out and suddenly realize that what used to be a huge LAKE is all ice and water Frozen. In. Motion. It’s a little surreal y’all. #polarvortex #globalwarming #midwest #milwaukee #lakemichigan #imfromneworleansthough#iliveinlosangeles #iboughtadowncoat #wontcatchmeslippin #showingupstrongforthefam ❤️
