America was once broken, tattered and torn. The cold came in and killed all that was good and noble and free atop the Brooklyn Bridge. But the Department of Transportation has vanquished the evil and restored our symbol of pride: #NYCDOT raises new American flags on top of the #BrooklynBridge today, a refreshing sight after […]
It’s so cold in New York City that the harbor looks like the Arctic Ocean, floating ice chunks and all. The temperature hit a low of 4 degrees on Monday morning, with a wind chill that made it feel more like -15. New York’s coldest February 16th on record, however, remains 1888 when it was […]
It’s cold. It’s February in New York City, of course it is cold. After three months of runny noses, perpetually dark skies and bulky coats, it would be easy to dismiss the cries of New Yorkers as winter fatigue. But at least today, they’re right.

Dripping faucets are a wasteful nuisance, but as this video shows, dripping fire hydrants are much, much worse. This video taken on Nelson Avenue in the Bronx shows how in this cold weather, a small leak over time can coat a large part of the street in ice. It’s rather fascinating (and dangerous). There’s a […]

According to the Weather Channel, it’s 15 degrees Fahrenheit in Brooklyn at the time of this writing, and feels like 3 with wind chill factored in. And while these temperatures are difficult for anyone to bear, for many residents of the […]
This is the Orda Cave, the biggest underwater crystal cave in the world in Perm, Russia. On the day of this mystical photo-shoot with the two-times free diving world champion Natalia Avseenko, it was -32.8F outside. The water was a brisk 41 F. Nice face, Natalia. Very stoic… considering you’re floating in ice slushy. It’s so cold here, […]
