Living in climates where winters are cold means a few things: you gotta have one hell of a warm blanket, a huge cup to keep yourself on a constant stream of boiling hot beverages, and patience to get through the coldness and darkness you never asked for.

On the other hand, it’s the season of ugly sweaters and stay-in nights with Netflix binges that make you feel like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone even despite the fact you’re thirty or so.

So today we are taking you on a photographic ride into the freezing temperatures that are snow and ice-castle approved. Some of them may make you shiver just by looking at them, so get yourself that warm blanket we already talked about!

Psst! More winter-inspired pics showing things in well beyond low temperatures can be found in our previous feature right here.

Aaaw I'd hate having to scrape it off to be able to drive. So pretty. Edit: it's not the windshield, but will melt when driving/heating the car probably.

That's no fern frost. I'm pretty confident that pattern was caused by some sort of fabric being left on the car and peeled off once it froze.

The Way The Ice Froze To This Fence

The Way The Ice Froze To This Fence

esteban42 Report

For many, the freezing temperatures of winter are an annual source of dread and discomfort. But for some, sub-zero temperatures are just another part of life.

For the indigenous people of the Arctic, life in freezing temperatures has been the norm for centuries. The Inuit, Yupik, and Inupiaq of the Arctic Circle have adapted to the harsh conditions by developing clothes and tools made from the materials they have at hand, such as animal hides and bone. They have also developed unique ways of cooking and hunting to survive in cold environments.In other parts of the world, people have also developed ways to cope with the cold.

In Siberia, the Yakut people have developed a unique form of yurt, called a chum, made from animal hide to provide shelter from the cold. In the Himalayas, high-altitude communities have adapted to the cold by wearing thick layers of clothing and using yak and sheep wool for blankets.

Speaking of Siberia, on January 17th, the city of Yakutsk, notoriously known for being one of the coldest places in the world where people live, saw an abnormally long cold snap. The temperatures here fell to minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit.

"You can't fight it," one resident dressed in two scarves and multiple layers of gloves, hats and hoods told Reuters when asked about the cold here. "You either adjust and dress accordingly or you suffer."

BusyRunninErins Report

Although the eastern United States has had very mild weather since that late December cold blast, there is the potential for a significant pattern change toward the end of January, says Ian Livingston, a forecaster/photographer and information lead for the Capital Weather Gang. Key to this change would be the development of high pressure over western North America, which would both block storms from hitting California and potentially create a pathway for the exceptional cold in Siberia to cross into the Western Hemisphere.
