This week a polar vortex is sweeping the country, with some places, like Park Rapids, Minnesota, hitting temperatures as low as 65 degrees below zero, with the wind chill factored in.

On Twitter, plenty of folks have shared images showing just how insanely cold the United States is this week. Here are some of the best.
Joking aside, a reminder that temperatures this low can, quite literally, kill. Please stay inside if you can.
