Ice covers Chicago warehouse after fire in US freeze

One person's described it as looking like something out of a horror show - a warehouse completely covered in ice!

The building caught fire in freezing cold Chicago, America, on Tuesday.

When firefighters came to put out the blaze, the freezing temperatures meant water from their hoses froze and turned to ice.

On Thursday another fire broke out in the warehouse. It's not known what caused it.

Snow and ice are covering large parts of the midwest and northeast.

Temperatures in some areas have dropped as low as -34C!
