"Ah, fuck yeah!" America yells in excitement. Tony helps America with his jacket, unphased by his giddy behavior. "I waited over a gazillion years for this fucking day! Kingdom Hearts III, here I come!" He slams open the door.

A blast of freezing wind hits his face like a wrecking ball made out of ice. He stands behind the doorway, reluctant to head out onto the snow-covered streets, devoid of any life with no one in sight. He slowly closes the door behind him.

"I'll guess I'll buy it digitally then..." He slinks underneath a giant blanket.

"Good idea," says Tony.

Atlanta, Georgia ~ 41°F

"Oh my God, Georgia! It was brief, but I finally got some snow in my home! It was so scary, yet so magical!" Mississippi continues to prattle while drinking warm tea in her living room.

"That's wonderful, sweetie." Georgia calmly sips her cup of tea.

She shivers with excitement. "Even more amazing, I hear this year is going to bring me lots of snow. Like, maybe two inches of it! I can't wait!" Her laughter becomes the envy of many Americans trying to survive the polar vortex.

"Well, hopefully this cold snap doesn't bother the Super Bowl's schedule too much. The cancelled flights are making me worry for my guests."

"Oh, right! I'm surprised they haven't put it off. By the way, who are you rooting for in this year's Super Bowl?"

She scoffs, "The Rams, obviously. I still haven't forgiven the Patriots for that loss." She pouts.

"Oh, yeah! I still can't believe the Patriots came back from a 28-3 lead. You must've been in quite a shock," she giggles.

Georgia glares at her. "Yes... Quite a shock..." She sips her tea.

"Hm... I guess I'll root for the Rams, too." She shrugs. "Sorry, Louise. I know she's still mad about the Saints not going to the Super Bowl and is rooting for the Pats to beat Cali's butt. However, I hate to see the Pats win again. I'm so sick of watching the Patriots in another Super Bowl!"

"Same," she bluntly agrees. "I still feel bad for Missouri. She was really optimistic, thinking she could beat Massachusetts." She sips her tea. "As much as I hate to see Cali win all the time, if the Rams manage to beat the Patriots, I'll consider it a win for America."

"Yeah! Let's hope the Rams win. For America!"

Georgia sighs. "Anyway, let's just hope this weather doesn't get any worse than it is now. I can't imagine having to go through a freezing winter. Dreadful for people in the Northeastern and Midwestern states. I pray nothing horrible happens to them." She sips her tea.

Boston, Massachusetts ~ 25°F

"Made it!" Massachusetts arrives at the airport, his head covered in snow.

He heads over to the terminal, hoping to catch his flight to Atlanta in time for the upcoming Super Bowl. But when he gets there, he learns his flight has been delayed. He looks out the glass window and sees the plane being showered with hot water. He breathes out a groan before heading over to the waiting area. Until his flight is ready, he distracts himself with social media, seeing how his fellow states are doing during this harsh winter.
