With the ice storms we get here in Northwestern CT and the many times my car doors were frozen shut I can just imagine how much fun you will have trying to get into that car. ;)

Maybe it's a warning about what volcano eruptions can do to summer and in the Northeast and Canada. :eek:

Rapid, dramatic temperature swings were common, with temperatures sometimes reverting from normal or above-normal summer temperatures as high as 95°F (35°C) to near-freezing within hours.

Why is only one car ice-encrusted? Why is the car in front relatively clear - just a light dusting of snow or light covering of ice? And why are the steps and railings in the background clear?

Sorry to put a damper on all the fun boys and girls, but it looks to me like this is a set-up.

Not likely a set up. If you look at the way the snow and ice are on the car you will notice that they balls have rolled toward the sidewalk. This means that the car has been sitting a while and the the snow plow blew snow onto the car. You will also notice the ice at the rear touches and melds into the ground which verifies that the car has been sitting.

I meant set-up in the sense that someone has sprayed water over this specific car, that it's not a natural phenomonon.

No, I think it is real. There is definitely a heavier amount of ice on the driver's side of the car, which is facing the road. If the road was covered in slush, but the air temperature was below freezing, when the plow truck drove past the slush would be sprayed onto the side of the car where it would freeze on contact.

Holy cow! :eek:
I'd have a fit if that was sitting in front of my house.
