When ice attacks

I also noticed that clicking on the YouTube image does not result in the video playing. I have to give embedly.com permission in NoScript in order to get the video to play (but I first have to click on the YouTube image before embedly.com shows up as a possibility in NoScript). I find it kind of annoying when they do not bother to put a direct link to the YouTube video in the text.

In Norse mythology, heaven was warm and hell was cold. Considering the temperature outside today (-18C), that sounds about right.

Ah, yes. Anti-lava.

My guess is that none of them understand physics. They honestly thought the houses would stop the onslaught, not realizing that the force behind the ice was going to keep it coming until it built up enough to break through the weakest housing material in its way.

I remember days shoveling my driveway when it felt like this was happening.

i am amazed the ice didnā€™t just push the townhouses off their slabs.

Ice to meet you?

Iā€™m used to seeing the giant slab version on the south shore (WI) of Lake Superiorā€¦
This guy has a few shots:
