Iowa resident Taylor Scallon shared what the frigid cold is doing to her hair, tweeting “Is Iowa really THAT cold?” and sharing the following clip:

Yep, the cold is making her hair stand up on end!
Another Iowa resident declares “It’s so cold in Iowa that we froze antifreeze.”
One person’s toilet bowl became a block of ice.

The temperatures – dipping below -46 C in some areas – isn’t without its dangers. In Chicago it’s so cold that the railroad tracks need to be set on fire to keep the trains moving.
The cold is also causing the Chicago river to “smoke” and freeze over.
Authorities are warning residents to stay sheltered in the epic cold to stay safe and warm.
