Plummeting temperatures have broken hundreds of winter records across the country - making February one of the coldest months in history.

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.

Where are the stranded Polar Bears? Did the Iroquois Indians sneak off the reservations or casinos and kill them all?

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.

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.
