It has frozen the Niagara Falls, created an ‘ice volcano’ in New York and led to 40-foot snow piles in the streets of Boston.
And America’s record-breaking big freeze is not over yet – with sub-zero temperatures and snow forecast in the eastern US for at least another week.
This winter has already seen a series of deadly storms and arctic blasts – most recently, the ‘Siberian Express’ – strike large swathes of the country.
It has sparked an array of dramatic, terrifying and often amusing scenes, including Massachusetts locals ‘swimming’ through snow-filled back yards.
In one incredible photo, thousands of icicles blanket a house in Philadelphia, western Pennsylvania, after firefighters tackled a blaze with water hoses.
In another, an icy imprint of a Jeep’s bumper remains standing in a parking lot in Greenville, North Carolina – long after the vehicle was driven away.
And now, a new arctic blast – labeled ‘Winter Storm Pandora’ by meteorologists – is poised to strike vast parts of the country, bringing another round of heavy snow, freezing rain and treacherous ice to areas from Missouri to the mid-Atlantic, and as far south as Alabama and Georgia, on Saturday.
