Looks like cake frosting. Are their chocolate cakes under all of those objects? :) These shots are spectacular. There were also shots on dpr of the Black Sea frozen over. We live where it is supposed to snow all winter, yet we're still seeing bare ground... I'm not complaining! Sorry you have to deal with it this winter...

This is all we have in New Hampshire, USA:

 
Same area:

Or the guy in your image was the shooting these.
...knew it was going to be cold... he got there one week before, to be sure he could shoot something !

...and he brought a big telelens, to keep away from the cold !

ROTFLMAO !!!!!!

:D

Is the most bizar one. What an ice show !

We had our spell of the cold weather too. Saturday morning record lows of -23C were measured. At my place it was -20C. Last night it quickly dropped to -17C again, but clouds and wind made it a bit less cold. At daytime, in the sun it was never much warmer than -5C. It wasn't cold however, because there was hardly any wind.
But today at 1600 hours it dropped to -9C again... Freaking cold.

Amazing
I've never seen anything like that before
...but worth going out for a few shots !

We're just having again a conjunction of very low temperature (-12 C. 10 F.) with strong northerly winds, which gives a "comfort level of (-20 C. / -4 F.)...

Sooooo.... I went to the lakeside to see what was going on ;) !

No ! I just shot them for my pleasure... BUT, looking at some of them in the newspapers, I beleive I could have sold them better ! There is one in particular, that I saw in the Daily Telegraph AND in a news agency in Brazil (thanks to "rhlpetrus" !), which has a TOTALLY OFF WHITE BALANCE... and it's been distributed "as is" all over the world ! What a blØØdy shame !

Except we're a nice shade of puke brown just about everywhere. This is our warmest winter that I can remember. With only a handful of days below 0C/32F. Nice pics though!

The cold strikes again, like 6 years ago ?

Great shots !
Thanks for looking !

In fact, it was not as hard as in january 2005 ! ...and there weren't as many cars, and particularly boats damaged ! The weather forecast had warned us more than a week before about that, so many people living on the lakeside didn't park their car there... and I guess a lot of boat owners moved their boats away...
