“I thought it was going to be another one of those little cold fronts, but it wasn’t,” one student outside Cooper City High School told Local 10 News.

“I saw ice on my mom’s car. It was really, really weird and cool at the same time,” another boy told Local 10. “Also on my way walking here actually, I saw an iguana on the ground.”
