Because of the polar vortex that came to the northeastern United States, New York has turned into ice tundra.
Bad weather caused a drop in air temperature significantly below zero, the closure of dozens of schools and traffic violations in the city, writes NBC.
The air in New York was so cold that the National Weather Service warned of the risk of frostbite of unprotected skin areas in just 30 minutes of being outside.
At JFK airport, the temperature was recorded in 3 degrees Fahrenheit (-16 Celsius), which broke the record for the minimum temperature that had been in effect for 42 years. In Manhattan, the Bryant Park fountain froze, and Gudzo seemed more like a skating rink than a river.
Residents of the city share amazing pictures of frozen New York on social networks. We selected a few of them.
