Anybody Have An Ice Scraper ???

A woman walks along the iced waterside promenade at Lake Geneva in Versoix, Switzerland, Feb. 5. A cold spell sent temperatures across much of Europe plummeting far below freezing.

1. I think you need a jackhammer for this one.

14. just before I forget... take a spray bottle and put 2/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of water in it.

spritz your car every day and no ice. vinegar doesn't freeze. I leave my bottle in the show and its not frozen yet.

16. Around here I don't worry about that

Here we have the other problem, 110+°.

18. oh good lord. You poor thing. Want some snow? Its falling right

now. Lots of sunscreen.

2. It will be awhile before that car moves...........

Would make for some fine art

3. On the plus side, it looks like the Dutch are going to be able to hold the 11 Cities Tour

A 125 mile ice skating marathon that uses the various canals and other waterways that connect eleven towns. It hasn't been held in over a decade due to warm winters.

4. That woman looks like she's dressed the way we dress in California

when it's in the low fifties. What is wrong with her?

7. Snicker. My wife and I left 32 below zero in Wisconsin and headed for San Diego ...

... a couple years ago. Shorts and sandals were so welcome on our pale bodies. Then we saw the locals in Del Mar with down jackets, ski hats and gloves. Gloves, for crying out loud. I don't wear gloves until it drops below zero.


On the other hand, I remember returning from two years in southeast Asia and absolutely freezing in 35 degree weather. One must acclimate.

8. LOL

I remember my Canadian cousins saying they got out the shorts when the temperatures reached the thirties. Never knew if they were kidding or not.

15. They were kidding...

usually it has to hit the 50's before we break out the shorts.

17. Around here if it gets below 60, you see people wearing their mukluks.

Me, if it's above freezing I'm in my shorts and t-shirt.

5. No big deal, it'll all be thawed out by mid-August.

6. An unintentional ice art exhibit.

10. Yes, it sure looks pretty. n/t

9. That place is going to have one hell of a flood come summer time.

[MineralMan]

11. Gonna need a flamethrower for that car.

It's not going anywhere for some time to come. That front wheel is embedded in solid ice.

[woo me with science]

12. Wow, that's beautiful. nt

[LeftyMom]

13. I don't think the local method of using the hose would help.
