A "weather bomb" is expected Thursday, bringing cold temperatures and messy weather to Eastern Canada. The Toronto Polar Bear Club cancelled its annual New Year's Day dip in Lake Ontario for the first time in its 13-year history due to extreme cold and dangerous ice buildup. Organizers of the cancelled Oakville polar bear dip put cones along the beach to try to keep people out of the water. Ice quakes happen when cold winter temperatures quickly freeze groundwater, causing the ground to suddenly crack and make popping sounds. HAPPENING NOW: #Sky13 is over @FLStateParks' Blue Spring State Park, where hundreds of #manatees are huddling from the (relatively) cold temperatures.
