Today, we are going to look at something you normally don’t see in Orlando–ice. Since the temperatures are so low with wind chills making them feel even colder, the water features at Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World are freezing up. Icicles are appearing in a bunch of places, and the internet is there to document the rare occurrence.
I have compiled some images from social media to share with you!
Let’s take a look!

Someone get her a tissue! Below freezing temperatures are creating icicles all round Orlando this morning, like this Trolls fountain in DreamWorks Land at Universal Studios Florida. Here’s a walking tour of DreamWorks Land from a much warmer day.https://t.co/2LZn2ZE9LU pic.twitter.com/SG2u14nQbV
