Firefighters spray down hot spots on an ice covered warehouse that caught fire Tuesday night in Chicago January 23, 2013. Fire department officials said it is the biggest fire the department has had to battle in years and one-third of all Chicago firefighters were on the scene at one point or another trying to put out the flames. An Arctic blast continues to gripped the U.S. Midwest and Northeast Wednesday, with at least three deaths linked to the frigid weather, and fierce winds made some locations feel as cold as 50 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

I remember a fire like this years ago outside of Boston (just as cold & windy then, too, which they get less of than Chicago.) Not only did the wind spread the fire across half a block before they got in under control, all the icicles the spray created were pointing sideways.
I came.
Haha once again firemen proved Robert Frost totally wrong.
Nice one Robert Frost you fucking fool.
