Will Slick get this off, do you think?

Carsicle ! Get your carsicle here ! No ?

Suvsicle ! Just a dollar, cool and refreshing !


Okay, that is incredible ! Seems the tide came over the beach at a really inopportune time... when the temps were well below freezing. Well, maybe that's not what happened. As I look again, the ice is 20 feet up those trees. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Yikes, can you imagine coming back to get your car to find THAT ?

Judging by the architecture, somewhere in Europe ?

It's in Switzerland, apparantly.

((Adds "the beach in Switzerland in January/Feburay" to the places to avoid at all costs... ))

I'll remember this when it's summer here. Looks like high winds blew spray off the lake.

Just rent a kerosene jet heater and risk the windows breaking from the temp difference.

I'm thinking the standard California 'use a credit card to scrape the window' might be less than effective in this case.
