Dear most of America, get ready to Netflix and chill your way through the weekend as freezing temperatures will most likely force you to stay indoors in the upcoming days.

It's already incredibly cold out there but winter storm Grayson is about to bring a whole lot of snow and sleet along with it from the East Coast to the Midwest. 

The winter hurricane is also called a bomb cyclone: According to the Hurricane Research Division, that's a "storm system that primarily gets its energy from the horizontal temperature contrasts that exist in the atmosphere. [It's a] low pressure system with associated cold fronts, warm fronts and occluded fronts."

Basically, the pressure will drop as low as hurricane winds and you are guaranteed to be cold. Hurrah!

This seems like the right time to make use of JetBlue's latest flash sale and book a trip to somewhere much warmer.
