Think it's cold in the UK? Try my neck of the woods !
Geneva is truly brass monkey weather these days. The pics in this link were taken this week (not by me, I've been laid up with 'flu the past 10 days :().
Don't fancy having my scoob treated to an ice-shower like those at the bottom of the page... Freezing Geneva |
Bet someones going to be selling a lot of de-icer by the looks of those cars, a few crates worth may get you though the drivers door lol.
Tony:D |
Similar Scene in Toronto the other night. Water main burst, causing a flood, cars driving past sprayed other cars, thus causing 2 - 5 inch thick ice covering.
It's not too cold here, about -8 (-15 with windchill) at the moment, probably fall to around -14 (sans windchill) tonight. Weekend is looking to be a high of around 0 - 2C, not bad! Was a nice fresh -15 to -25 last weekend, plus snow everywhere, lovely :) |
Nice cold snaps.

We flew back the Saturday before it 'snapped' !
Would have been stuck there otherwise. |
J4CKO, you were lucky indeed - on Sunday, the airport was closed for 9 hours whilst they tried to clear the snow !

LOL @ the lock de-icer :D
Experienced -25f the other week over in Minnesota and that was a bit chilly and they were giving out warnings on the radio not to stay outside for more than 5 minutes due to the risk of your skin freezing :o it got down to -35f the week after though so came home the right time. |
In depth analysis (okay, a good close look) would suggest that it's covered in whatever's been coming over that wall. Does anyone know if that's a lake, or a sea? 'Cos if it's the latter then the bleeding things gonna rot before it's thawed out :D
...and how cold does seawater have to be to freeze? |
Seawater freezes at a temperature that is slightly colder than fresh water (0.0° Celsius). The freezing temperature of seawater also varies with the concentration of salts. More salt the lower the initial freezing temperature. At a salinity of 35 parts per thousand, seawater freezes at a temperature of -1.9° Celsius.
