18 Chill-Inducing Stories About Freezing Weather And Those Who Can’t Handle It (And A Few Who Can)

Dear readers,

For our readers in the southern hemisphere, winter is coming to an end. Meanwhile, between the oppressive heat and wildfire smoke, certain northern-hemisphere-based editors are seriously considering relocating! A couple of weeks ago, we posted a roundup about heatwaves. We thought it might help us if we sympathized with other people whose brains were slowly baking in their skulls.

It didn’t work! So, instead, here’s a roundup about the flipside of the coin; we’ve gathered 18 stories from our archives about people battling blizzards, rainstorms, and cold snaps!

Psychic Like The Night King – If your weather app fails you, there’s always windows.

Getting Heated About The Lack Of It – It seems that the laws of thermodynamics even apply to entitled jerks!
