Photo gallery: Images from suburban cold snap
Brutal. Treacherous. Dangerous. Inclement. Bleak.
There are all kinds of words to describe the subzero weather we've experienced over the past few weeks. Our staff of photojournalists went out when the temperatures were 10 degrees below zero, or lower, with the mission of finding the beauty in this arctic blast.
