That would peed me off.But i think the street pic looks cool..

[BillyGman]

WOW!!!!! :eek: I guess those people aren't getting into their cars for awhile, to say nothing of their boats!!! Where is that?

[Donny Carlson]

And this picture shows why. Almost makes up for dumbass rednecks.

[mcb26]

Looks someone was sitting on the deck of the last picture.

[BillyGman]

LOL....I guess he's well perserved now. :D

This is where remote starts come in handy........

I swear that 2nd pic looks like a Ford Escape

[FastMerc]

I guess that gives new meaning to the word,frozen solid!

[Bluerauder]

Where is that?
From the link address and they photos I am guessing somewhere in Germany probably off of the North Sea ... Bremerhaven and north. :dunno:

[MarauderMark]

It looks like the first pic was a vette..

[BillyGman]

Hmm, Germany, uh? ..and Ford Escape's, and Vettes? Well then I guess that's what the Germans like to do to American cars. :D


Wes, yeah, those pics would make a good commercial for remote starters, uh? ;)

[woaface]

I saw some pictures taken on what appears to be the same block just a few days ago on SVTperformance.com

Look at all the ice on that antenna!!!!

Screw a remote start, yay for garages!

[fusion1027]

DAMN!!!

even if you had a remote starter, you'd have to start it today to get in it tomorrow

[Bluerauder]

Hmm, Germany, uh?
The ".de" is the key and is the country code for Germany (i.e. Deutschland). Search on "Leantik" gives the following address for a company that specializes in fine porcelain ...

Leantik & Associates
Rothenbaumchausee 47
20148 Hamburg/Germany

North Germany was close .... looks like the photos were taken in or around Hamburg. :D

[gdmjoe]

Yep ( Ever Seen such a thing!? ).

West Michigan Lake Michigan coast.

[jgc61sr2002]

Never. That is mighty cold.

[DefyantExWife]

i'm equally floored to see those people standing in the first picture.... if it were me there, i'd be on my ass with my feet in the air (slippery) :laugh:

I saw something similar one winter on Norfolk Naval Base. A whole row of Officers cars that were parked right up to the sea wall were over half covered in ice because each incoming wave was splashing up and over thier cars, and freezing.

What I don't understand is, if there is sooo much ice, why is the water still in liquid form?

[de minimus]

What I don't understand is, if there is sooo much ice, why is the water still in liquid form?

A really bad case of freezing rain.

[RoyLPita]

Didn't the coast of Massachusetts have that kind of weather recently????? There were houses that were coated with ice.

HUman beings were not created to live like that! :sunshine:

What I don't understand is, if there is sooo much ice, why is the water still in liquid form?
Here are my guesses...

1.) Really bad storm with tremendous winds.

2.) Huge waves crash up over the wall, and spray everywhere.

2.) During the storm, extreme temperature drop.

3.) Water freezes to metal instantly on contact, then on other surfaces like trees, boats, and the street.

4.) Notice the sides of the cars facing the water have more ice. As you get further away from water, the ice diminishes.

5.) Frozen water looks milky, and hazy, could be the salt in the water? (this rules out freezing rain) that (usually) coats evenly, and freezes clear.

Then again...I could be totally wrong.

p.s. You can have the ambient temperature be 20 below zero (with a sharp temperature drop) and Lake Erie will still be in liquid form. It takes a long time for a large body of water to change temperature. In fact, it takes about a month or more of 10-20 degree days or lower to freeze Lake Erie over. The lake never froze completely this year, and we've had plenty of 0 to 5 below zero days.

All the time. We get warm wet winds coming in from Hawaii, and cold dry winds from Siberia. Then the warm air above the cold air lets go, and it rains. If falls through the icy Siberian weather, and rain drops that freeze as soon as they hit something blankets everything.

Suddenly, I have a Crown Vic shaped refridgerator.

yeah, we had some crappy weather recently, nothing this bad though. couple of closed streets by the coast, and a bunch of houses were iced

[CRUZTAKER]

The same thing recently happened on the Boston coast. I saw HOUSES that looked like those cars.

The ocean with it's constant movement and depth doesn't freeze so quickly. Get a really bad gusty storm with sub freezing temps, and waves crashing and water spraying everywhere....you get what you see. Insta freeze in those thick capacities.

I have seen this on our own Lake Erie front in downtown Cleveland. There is a portion of I-90 that is literally 10 yards off the break wall. When the waves kick up, and the wind blows due south, the water spray covers that stretch of highway, and in a matter of minutes, freezes over the entire roadway.
