We at Billy Penn know how difficult this morning has been. You can’t fathom the thought of leaving the office (or your house) to go get a coffee and your Instagram feed has been flooded with everyone and their mother screenshotting their weather app. Rough day.
Here are eight photos of how icy Philly is just to remind you that you probably shouldn’t leave the indoors:
1. Frozen Genny Ice? Frozen Genny Ice.
2. There’s only one thing better than a dog wearing a coat: A dog wearing two coats.

3. Scary: power lines in West Philly were completely frozen over with icicles by this morning after a fire at 52nd and Locust turned a building into an ice sculpture. (Philly Mag has more photos of the incident here.)
4. Hell hath frozen over, AKA there’s ice… underground…
5. Welcome to Philly/ the North Pole. (Insert sarcastic #whyilovephilly here.)
