Reggae music should never make you think of cold weather - the one exception being the film Cool Runnings. That movie is ingrained into most of our nostalgic recollection of 90's pop culture, and it was based on a true story.
It was so damn cold in NYC this week, it seemed almost too coincidental that I discover news about Jamaican bobsledding coming back to the Winter Olympics for 2014. For real.
I first read it about it on Largeup.com, but news made its way to other outlets, including Huffington Post. Here's all you need to know:
