With Jonas gearing up to pummel the East Coast, most of us are bracing ourselves for the biggest wintry sh*tstorm of 2016.
But we all know winter is really just a state of mind. Transcend the cold and gloom with these 20 photos of paradise featuring Instagram's finest.
Start scrolling to feel warmer and happier with each magical vista.
Paradise is warm nights...
Sunny days...
...and baskets full of puppies.
For some, any form of nature is paradise.
And for others, happiness is a warm, fluffy kitty belly.
Paradise is palm trees...
...and pizza.
It's clear waters...
...and lush, tropical greenery.
But paradise can come in many forms.
Sugar-coated and sprinkled...
...or silent and serene.
So, this weekend...
When the snow hits and better days feel far away...
...picture your happy place.
And let yourself get lost in your paradise.
Whether it's the beach...
A swanky waterfront lounge...
...or your very own private escape.
Bon voyage.
