The Vikings’ Gjallarhorn shattered, so yeah, it’s cold in Minnesota

You’ve heard how cold it is in Minnesota for Sunday’s Vikings-Seahawks game, but this is ridiculous.

You’ve heard how cold it is in Minnesota for Sunday’s Vikings-Seahawks game, but this is ridiculous.

The Vikings have a gigantic Gjallarhorn, a mythological Norse “yelling horn,” that they sometimes shoot fire out of or just use to make loud noises. But it’s 15 degrees below zero in Minneapolis, so the poor horn never stood a chance. 

• More evidence the Seahawks-Vikings game is really cold

Heimdallr is going to be mad they broke his horn. 

But wait! They’ve got another!

Next Gjallarhorn up.

They better hope that one doesn’t break.
