Now that Jack Frost season is in full force, going through a process of intricate layering to save yourself from freezing your head off is basically a daily occurence. You need layers upon layers of sweaters and jeans and coats, and on top of that, you need to accessorize with scarves and gloves, beanies and earmuffs.
All of these useful articles of clothing are great and all, but they aren’t particularly fun — and untangling headphone cords with cold fingers is the worst. To knock yourself out of the winter blues, we have the ultimate winter heat for anyone with ears. Read more…

Don’t worry, those frozen alligators are totally OK

Damn, alligators are tough.
Last week, the Shallotte River Swamp Park posted videos on Facebook of its gators poking their nostrils through the ice to survive unusually cold temperatures, a result of the “bomb cyclone” that hit the eastern United States.
On Tuesday, the tactic paid off — the ice melted a bit in the park’s alligator sanctuary, and the creatures were alive and well.
The park is located in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina — a state that, like much of the East Coast, experienced its coldest first week of January on record since 1895, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Read more…

It’s so damn cold someone went ice skating at the beach

Temperatures dipped so low in Maine this weekend that a man was spotted ice skating — at the beach.
Peter and Sandra Lekousi were out for a chilly stroll on Long Sands Beach in York on Sunday when they spotted the odd scene, according to the Boston Globe. The ocean water had froze in such a way that it left a relatively flat and smooth surface for the man to skate on, so that’s exactly what he did.
“It was freezing cold — too cold for us to be on the beach — and he was skating on the beach,” Sandra told the Globe.
Peter later uploaded the clip to his Facebook page, jokingly writing that “every day is a beach day in Maine.” Read more…
