The Bryant Park fountain in midtown Manhattan turned into a crystal jewel as the temperature in New York fell to 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius) overnight on Jan. 30. A torrent of snow and high winds whipped the city and the iconic fountain froze, a symbol of winter’s arrival in the city.
“It’s beautiful, it’s frozen! It’s kind of symbolic, and you know it’s kind of like a staple of mid-town I think, the frozen fountain,” said Lauren Alex, a New Yorker who was on her way to a library nearby.
