Incredible event in Versoix (Switzerland)

[Cinnemen99]

I just can'e believe the remarks for what seems to be some absolutely breathtaking pictures and video. thank you for sharing them. not all of us have seen this kind of thing. LIGHTEN UP! Lets enjoy & be glad it isn't our car stuck there...(smile) Have Great Day!

[quantumguy39]

This is definately a sign from God that one should call in sick to work that day.

[Thunderstruck401]

LOL!!! Thats funny according to switzerlands meteorological history this event has happened at least 20 to 30 times in the past 100 years. . . Get a grip you faggot ass retards, get off the heroine, quit sucking so much dick for attention. . . Oh do something for me, look it up in a dictionary. . . one word! "Research!" Fucking Dumb Asses LOL!!!

[ranarubel007]

creepy..

[2JAMMY]

I need to check my antifreeze in my car

[SciBishop]

So was this after only one storm event (due to the high winds) or is this a daily accumulation effect? Is this location always buffeted by strong winds and as a result causing this massive icing?

[jvdo09]

@Thunderstruck401 I understand the fact that this would not be an incredible event in the US or other places in the world, but it is in Versoix (Switzerland) as we never ever get any type of hurricanes or hurricane force wind or even strong wind or anything like that...

anyways, you seem like you are very angry, and I doubt it is the water freezing in Switzerland which is making you this upset, so I hope you fix whatever is making you so mad..

and by the way I am american

[tiasarahellielorna]

beautiful!

[369vma]

its called ice jajajajajajajajaja that shit is funny

[metapatriot]

sounds like the Gregorian monks

[MrMandannny]

Ever heard of freezing rain?

This fenomena happens in many countries.

If the wind blew that hard as u guys say it did there would be no cars parked that nicely. Google or utube it nubs.

[MCMCsimulation]

pwetty

[Oakleaf700]

This is amazing...for those who say dismissively ''It is ice'' they must have such a jaded view of life...ice like this is very unusual, and I personally have never seen anything like it..beautiful, and i would love to have seen if in person, but the conditions which caused such ''glaze'' are rare in England!

[ItsBerny]

Must have been hell to take all the ice of those cars...

[TheJacinte]

SPECTACULAR .

[CJLinton]

@EndTheDenial Ice in Switzerland... no way man! lol

[marcjtdc]

this is when remote starters come in handy, hit it and melt the ice

[Monsterjammin93]

I think the gas & wiper fluid Froze. what did the people do? How long did it last, if u happen 2 know. & finnally when did it happen, like year wise. Also do u know what happened the day b4 that may have caused this akward weather. Is it were switzerland is located 2 hav caused this. Have they had anything else happen like this? Sorry, i ask a lot of questions on youtube. help me the best u can, greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Monsterjammin93]

o sure car iz frozen solid @ 1:24 but not @ 0:32. look 2 the left. WOW Everythinh Freezes except the water, REALLY!!!

[massimoenzo]

great pictures but nothing incredible... usual here in CH ....

[fdasherv]

Very pretty.  Those cars are fucked though.

[xxxBlueIncendiaxxx]

You are all sarcastic ass holes

[theluvable13]

Time to ice skate XD

[jvdo09]

yes, it is an incredible event since the water that froze comes from the lake and this was found all over town.. the incredible event is not the fact that water turned into ice, the incredible event is the very strong wind that manage to blow the water from the lake so far inside the town... there is no waves in a lake like there is in the ocean or sea, so yes, this is very unusual, but for you to know this you would need to educate yourselfs about other countries than the USA.. give it a go :)

[Oakleaf700]

@jvdo09 Yes, this is very rare...especially as in Switzerland you are about 600kms from any sea. The winds must have been crazy to have coated everything with Glaze like that...I live about 10 miles from the Atlantic, but sometimes a really strong South Westerly storm blows seawater inland and onto the west facing windows...

[Thunderstruck401]

@jvdo09: This isn't an incredible event you fucking retard! Google it!!! its called "Freezing Spray" it's what happens when you have near hurricane force winds combined with sub-freezing temperatures ( colder than 0C or 32F ) and always on a cloudy day, in fact this event also happened during a day in which Freezing Rain with hurricane force winds were reported in that area. . . Take your Memory loss pills and get an education yourself you stupid pollock nigger.

[Thunderstruck401]

@jvdo09: Oh something else, this event is quite common in parts of North America ( U.S.A. & Canada ) for an example: Along the lakes and shorelines of Alaska, Great Salt Lake area of Utah, Including the great lakes region involving US states of Minnesota, Michigan, Winsconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsyvania, New York, let not forget its also common on the coast lines Maine, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Etc. . . indicating that my american ass is smarter than your dumb ass, now, fuck you.

[Thunderstruck401]

@jvdo09: Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask you, did your mother get raped by an Gay Abainian Priest, or is your mother actually a drag queen that got buttfucked by mexicans before getting deported for having a mistake like you. . . Do yourself a favor, stop swallowing your fathers cock you dumb ass cum catcher, practice yoga, and shove your head right straight up your ass, and swallow, i want to know if you implode stupid.

[sardarshamas]

@Thunderstruck401 You sound like one real intellectually sophisticated classy person! Um...! America must be so proud to berth such fine specimens of humanity!!!! What ...you have a doctorate in English and Linguists! Gee hence the wide expression and use of vocabulary! A real Shakespeare You!

[DragonGodAvatar]

Incredible event? Do you not realise that water becomes ice under a certain temperature, and it just happens Switzerland is quite cold?

[keyblade280]

@DragonGodAvatar same goes for you your an idiot really, the amazing thing is not the ice itself but the way that it is formed staying in the direction of the wind thats is very amazing especially seeing it first hand while on holiday in switzerland Versoix wasnt the only place it formed but is was where the most amazing formations where all the poeple on this site who a re being sarcastic fucktards are showing the lowest form of whit

[DragonGodAvatar]

@keyblade280 I'm an idiot for pointing out a scientific fact? So you think icicles pointing towards the ground, is somehow formed by the wind instead of dripping water? Granted, the wind may influence the shape but it is fairly limited.

[SuckMyRightToe]

@DragonGodAvatar I get the sarcastic comments on the majority of obscure weather videos but indeed you are an idiot, it's quite the amazing sight unless you do actually find the same pleasure in seeing a single icicle. Though ignoring the beauty feel free to educate yourself and read jvdo09's comment to find out why you're stupid on two levels

[keyblade280]

@DragonGodAvatar no your not getting my point are you fucktard , unless of course gravity doesn't apply to Switzerland you fail to notice the icicles that are pointing straight up "dripping water" i quote would form icicles pointing down that's nothing too special no, but the icicles pointing up is formed by the water and the upward direction of the wind being so cold that is was able to freeze the droplets in the upward positions. that is what makes this event incredible icicles defying gravity

[DragonGodAvatar]

@keyblade280 I think you'll find that they're actually ice-stalagmites. And if it's supposed to be about ice stalagmites then why include pictures of icicles too?

If I'm such a fucktard then why did you feel the need to reply to my comment, and insult me at the same time over a fucking video? Troll obvious -_-

[ffelix422]

Wonderful video, hellashous morning trying to dig out.

[TheRockandroy]

@EndTheDenial sarcasm-o-meter: OVER 9000!!!!!!!!

[OLAYXX]

It is incredible.I have never seen ice form in the direction of the wind blowing before,not like that. Nice Video.

[PsychoLegoMan]

My freezer creates incredible events on a daily basis...

[TheThomass16]

If you have a beard you're f*cked...

[tzeH2O]

ICE CREAM TOOOOOOOOOOOOWN! Stop posting clips, Hansel and Grettel..

[vvinblog]

[pau1hughes]

[hyj2110]

the water it become in ice very fast, weird, the global cataclysm is near! are u ready for that?

[just4today82]

can someone please show this to Al Gore so he can finally shut the fuck up about global warming

[TheZombieBrigader]

This looks likes something from "The Day After Tomorrow".

[TheAndresMendez]

Nice video, reflecting peaceful switzerland in winter, music perfectly matching, thanks for sharing!

[craignowell]

It's a very rare occurrence in Europe. We don't normally get such wild temperature fluctuations that causes ice drift like this. This is very rare because it relies on three things: high humidity in the air; significant winds; massive sudden drop in air temperature. The temperatures have to be supercool to literally freeze water into formation like in these images. Yes, you see icicles and ice normally - not like this though over here!

[MrJayGibbs]

Just fresh water, wind chill and a cold night.

[mlcoo17]

Beautiful, but hardly rare or shocking.

[imagineerj]

Ok, I'm not crazy, I opened my fridge and saw the same thing!!! Now people will believe me. Thank you thank you for this video!

[617Beegs]

@atsf1920 genius response

[Smokr]

LOL

This guy should have seen Chicago's Lake Shore Drive last winter.

[ElveeKaye]

I guess tourism goes WAY down in the winter in Versoix.

[hhowe511]

Its George W Bush's fault

[digitalbroadcaster]

Looks like the icebox in our freezer. Yes, we have cars parked in there too. No vans though. ;o)

But seriously, as atsf1920 wrote down below, it isn't rocket science or anything unnatural. Just rare.

Great photo's though. Anybody got a can of de-icer? A 25Ltr one?

[eleszar1]

lich king was there

[sp00ktube]

Was it cold enough for a jacket?

[healarc]

@EndTheDenial It is amazing. There must have been a lot of rain to help create these beautiful creations. If not, it's definately a mystery.

[facelessDeathsquad]

damn it must have been freezing balls

[MsPysanky]

Very artistic photography. Very well done video. 

[atsf1920]

This can happen whenever you get a large expanse of open water, high winds, and very cold temperatures. The lake water has not yet frozen, and high winds stir up large swells which crash into piers and retaining walls, throwing up spray that freezes on contact with the much colder objects on land. If this keeps up long enough, objects near the water can become literally entombed in ice. The "angled" icicles hanging from tree branches and railings are proof of high winds as they were forming.

[mmaster116]

@EndTheDenial but he question how the fuck would there be ice that much ice, it owuld've had to rain for hours to create that much ice...

[joh1722]

brass monkeys,,is it in the hoth system,would freeze a gandark

[TonyBastiano]

[ShowmeyourBOB]

This is frozen rain and it sucks the worst out of all things that suck about winter.
