The Ocean Waves in Nantucket Are So Cold, They're Rolling in as Slush

The unusually cold and snowy winter in southern New England has broken records and resulted in many indellible images, from collapsed roofs tomassive snow farms and a frozen Hudson River in New York. Now, a new iconic image of the winter of 2014-15 can be added to the mix: slush waves.
Nantucket-based photographer Jonathan Nimerfroh captured waves coming ashore that contained bits of ice, making them resemble a slurpee.
The slush waves formed during one of the coldest winters in many years, with a late February cold snap that broke all-time records in parts of the Northeast.
The cold stands out on a global temperature map, with temperatures in New England beating out all other land areas for the biggest negative temperature anomaly.
