Social media will always love a snow day

This week, as Britain got a little chillier and the US was battered by an out-of-this-world polar vortex, there was only one story that dominated the conversation on social media – the weather.

One of our most popular polar vortex stories from our travel desk here at The Independent was the freezing of Lake Michigan, resulting in some truly spectacular pictures.
