When winter shows “character”.
Although increasingly, scientists talk about global warming, in different parts of the world can sometimes be extremely cold weather.
1. Crystal clear frozen lake
This lake in the Slovakian High Tatras mountains was so crystal clear that those who are in winter ice on the lake surface, it looks like they are walking on air. So transparent ice is formed when very pure water does not freeze in the course of one night, but slowly. Given the beautiful surroundings, this lake seems real frozen Paradise.
2. Broken water pipes in Siberia
In January 2015, a Siberian town found itself, quite literally, frozen to the ground, once during a severe storm at -40 ° C burst city water. Residents of Dudinka, which came out of their homes after a powerful storm, found that the streets turned into ice blocks on the belt.
3. Burning warehouse turned into ice castle
When in the winter of 2015 at the warehouse in new York’s Brooklyn fire broke out, the local fire brigade took more than a day to extinguish the fire. Because the street at that time was very cold, the warehouse for the night turned into a real ice castle.
4. Climbing on a frozen waterfall
Extremely cold winter of 2014 caused chaos around the world, but in China it provided fun for local adventurers. In Beijing’s Miyun County, it was so cold that the local waterfall completely frozen over. The incredible sight has attracted dozens of climbers who armed with crampons and pickaxes, decided to conquer a huge waterfall.
5. The frozen foam on Scottish river
These fluffy discs might look like pancakes, but sour cream to add to them is clearly not worth it. A flotilla of mysterious aminopterin disc was seen in 2014 when they were drifting down the river Dee in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Upon closer study it turned out that “pancakes” made from frozen ice and foam. Scientists believe that pieces of frozen foam got into the whirlpool, where they circled until then, until it has acquired a disc shape.
6. Frozen lake Michigan
The photo was taken on January 5, 2015, from the shores of lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois, a few hours before the city was struck by winter storm Gorgon.
7. Icicles on car wheels
In the cold climate of Canada can sometimes experience unusual problems — the icicles on the wheels. When paurashava heat from a moving car, water droplets deposited on the wheels, centrifugal force “flings” them from the wheel. But given the very cold temperatures in the winter local, the droplets freeze literally in flight, forming icicles on the wheels.
8. Exploding trees and frozen mercury
Siberia is clearly not the place where I want to live many people. Most people are simply not suited to survive the local cold. In Yakutia the average winter temperature is often kept at about minus 35 degrees Celsius. In such low temperature while breathing the steam coming from his mouth, condenseries and turns into small ice crystals. Fallen trees sometimes literally explode and emit blue sparks. Even mercury freezes in such cold weather.
9. Snow rollers in Ohio
One night in the winter of 2014 in the Eastern United States appeared strange and rare real winter miracle, a strong wind rolled up the snow to donuts, the hollow tube and the rollers, which are rolling in the snow.
These snow rollers are formed only with the right combination of light, sticky snow, strong (but not too strong) winds and low temperatures.
10. Boiling water turned to snow
As it was cold in the Midwest USA during the winter of 2014? Quite cold for that when meteorologist Eric Holthaus threw in the air the boiling water from the pot near his home in the city Virokom (Wisconsin), the water instantly turned into snow. To be precise, the temperature was -29 ° C, and with cold wind and all of -46 ° C.
