Polar Vortex: Water’s Turning to Ice in Mere Seconds, Mars Is Warmer than Minnesota

It Is So Cold, Water’s Turning to Ice in Mere Seconds and Mars Is Warmer than Minnesota (Mediaite)

All across the country people are facing frighteningly low temperatures to the point where the U.S. is being hit by what’s being called a “polar vortex.” So just how cold is it? Well, let’s put it this way: bottles of water are turning to ice in the blink of an eye and Minnesota is now officially colder than the surface of Mars.

It is so cold out, the antifreeze in your car could actually freeze over. It is so cold that in Missouri, they’re saying rock salt will do you no good.

And it is so cold, that northern Minnesota is currently colder than the SURFACE OF MARS. Yes. Let that sink in for a second. Oh, and it’s so cold in Chicago, they’re nicknaming it “Chiberia” and it is colder than the South Pole.

Which means that when one Chicagoan decided to test out the -13 degree weather with a bottle of water, she could literally see it turning to ice before her very eyes.
