Plummeting temperatures have broken hundreds of winter records across the country - making February one of the coldest months in history.
But in New England, it has gotten so cold even the waves are starting to freeze.
These incredible photos of so-called 'slurpee waves' were taken by surfer Jonathan Nimerfroh in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
He took his camera out when he noticed the horizon looked strange - and then spotted the surf had turn slushy. The stunning images were taken as snow and icy rain continues to cause chaos across the country - with states of emergency being declared in the South.
And even though March begins on Sunday - forecasters have warned that the arctic conditions are set to continue from coast-to-coast.

I cannot even imagine how thrilling it must be to see those in person and go inside.
Thanks for posting those, I really enjoyed looking at them!
Wow! It’s the little ice age! Fantastic shots!
Thank you for sharing those.
Anybody hasn’t seen these pics should!!!
Damn, Global Warming slurpee waves .... Fat Al never even warned us about them!!!
Where are the stranded Polar Bears? Did the Iroquois Indians sneak off the reservations or casinos and kill them all?
“I once surfed off Nantucket in slushy waves with a group of local young men, and they all complimented me on the size of my johnson.”

Nantucket makes me remember countless obscene military school cadence counts.
I keep expecting the polar bears to show up in my neighborhood looking for someplace warm.
They could actually walk the 350 odd miles from James bay.
Wow, that’s just incredible!
Probably a minimum period. If we are lucky. We are overdue for an ice age as the inter global period has extended about twice as long as usual.
Went over the Tappan Zee the other day and there were ice floes in the Hudson River over by Tarrytown. Ice floes! I thought I was crossing the Yukon.
Now that is awesome...from an old SoCal surfer!!
He may get his wish...........
Awesome...............
Exactly. By 0.01 degrees Celsius.
Living here around 10 miles outside of Boston this month of February has been the worst, longest month that i can ever remember.
ARGH!!!!!
Do you know the man from Nantuckett?
