With temperatures stubbornly remaining below freezing for long stretches, New York City has turned to the Trecan Combustion 60-PD Snowmelter, known on the streets as the “hot tub.” These orange behemoths can melt 120 tons of snow an hour. Javier Lojan, acting sanitation commissioner, told The Weather Channel’s Stephanie Abrams the city has 13 of the machines operating around the city’s five boroughs. Lojan said it may take another couple of weeks before all the piles of snow are cleared.

A sprawling storm may put a damper on Valentine’s weekend plans as rain and some snow spread across much of the country.

The Northeast cannot seem to catch a break. After a bitter cold weekend, we are tracking a clipper system that could bring light snow to the Northeast Tuesday into Wednesday. Snow will generally be on the light side, ranging from 1-3 inches for many, but any additional snow will impact travel. Three to 8 inches of snow will be possible across Upstate New York and the higher elevations. Get your hour-by-hour forecast and the latest snow totals here.

Staying upright on an icy path is apparently just as hard for birds as it is for people. Some chickens and a goose couldn’t get a grip as they tried to flap their way across a slippery surface in a village in Guizho Province, China. Their fluttering fiasco is pretty funny.

Across Greenland’s eastern coast, dog sledders and hunters are facing a growing crisis after the country experienced its warmest January on record. Massive lakes that should be frozen in thick layers of ice and snow, are instead bumpy and rough with icy patches that are making it tough for dog sledding. The hunting season for muskox has been delayed, hunters are now saying they’re relying on seal meat, which is harder to hunt when there’s no ice.
