It&#8217;s not thanks to the weatherman but too a new exhibit &#8211; LA in Ice&#8230;a frozen attraction. The show will feature a number of amazing ice sculptures showing famous L.A. landmarks and icons &#8211; like the Hollywood sign.<br \/>\nThe exhibit is in Building 5 and is located in a giant freezer. As I entered it today to look around, all I could think of was the episode of I Love Lucy where Lucy gets locked in the meat freezer in her basement. With all our safety precautions, that can&#8217;t happen here. But the enclosure does look like a giant freezer. It&#8217;s $1 to get in and with that you get a blanket because it is COLD in there!<br \/>\nThe photo above shows the blocks of ice before being carved into the artistic structures they will become. Notice the chainsaw &#8211; some use brush &amp; palette, some use charcoal &#8211; chainsaw is the tool of choice for ice carving.<br \/>\nArtist Roland Hernandez will be on site to demonstrate just how adeptly he can wield a chainsaw.<br \/>\nSee you in 63 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arctic-level temperatures will greet Fairguests when our gates open this Saturday.
