Some people have taken to social media to document just how cold it is where they are. With some areas of the U.S. experiencing a -45-degree wind chill temperature, it’s no surprise that some items are literally freezing in place. Check these out!

Let’s start with Chicago

Frozen bubbles

Another Chicago story

The news actually began to report this one shortly after it happened. Desperate times call for desperate measures, no?

No chickens allowed (outdoors)

Angela from Twitter took her pet chickens indoors because it was way too cold to be out in their normal resting area. They’re probably really confused.
