One of my uncles came down from Canada this weekend to play golf, and he was telling me what a warm winter they had, seems warm is relative. (Like over 30 degrees C (86 F) being a "heat wave day")

I was in Ithaca all winter and I can definitely attest to it being a warm winter. We had one week where it was 55-70 F the whole week! What I found strange was that they got a lot more snow at home in New Jersey than we did here all winter.

Hi,

Hopefully I didn't put this in the wrong thread but I am still new to this site.

The pic is real, it is actually a frame-grab off my video (sony dsr-570 dvcam), it was a very cold night....a watermain broke and cars went splashing through it all night and the spray made for a secure ultimate anti-theft coating of 4-6 inches of ice and there were three cars coated by morning....stuck right to the ground actually:)

Too bad I didnt make a frame-grab of the one car owner who tried to chip away the ice with a pick-axe.....he swung too hard and well.....went right through the front left fender.

I actually heard the call on the radio scanner, the police were called as the works dept needed the cars removed so they could fix the watermain break, not much the cops could do, there was not even a spot on that car to place a parking ticket and no easy way to move the car with a tow truck.

was quite funny actually.
