Ever Seen such a thing!?

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

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


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

BIG TIME! I know I like the remote start in my old F150....

Yeah, Escapes are shipped internationally, heres an image from Australia

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.

Yep ( Ever Seen such a thing!? ).

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.

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

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.
