These ice storm pictures are crazy. It would be pretty hard to come up with a description for the level of suck that comes along with having your car incased in ice. Probably the only thing worse would be if you were still in it. I’m not a genius, but I’m pretty sure your defroster isn’t going to cut it. Two more ice storm pictures after the jump.

Wow, great shots. That’s amazing, just totally encased in ice. I have been through these Ice storms in Western NY and may have another today as the weathermen are predicting for this morning but we’ll have to see. I’ve never seen anything like this though.

Ice storm is from Sweden sometime back. The U.S. ice storm this week just got me looking for picts.

It’s actually Swtzerland not Sweden. The photos are from Jan 2005 in Versoix, Lac Leman, better known to english speakers as Lake Geneva.

Great shots.
I work for Lakeshore Learning, a developer/producer/distributor of children’s curriculum materials. We would love to use one of your photos for an “ice storm” science card.
Please let me know if that would be possible and what the compensation requirements might be.
Thank you!

These pictures are amazing, yes, but they are not from an ice storm.
The photos actually show lake spray accumulation on the cars.
Lake Geneva doesn’t freeze, and the spray from the lake lands on the cars and benches and freezes on them. It’s too bad for the car owners, but they should probably know better.
An indicator that the ice is definitely NOT from precipitation is the buildings in the background of the photos–notice that they don’t have any ice on them.
