ya I seen that and was like WOW I think I might need to put the Grids back in the ole cummins to go there




The photographs are genuine. At Lake Léman (Lake Geneva) in January 2005, very cold conditions combined with strong winds resulted in the ice-encrusted landscape shown in the photographs. Temperatures were so cold that wind-generated spray from the lake froze on the surface of anything it touched. Another series of photographs showing alternate views of the same event can be viewed in an online photo gallery by Jean-Pierre Scherrer of Geneva, Switzerland. Scherrer notes:
After a conjunction of intense cold (-8 to -12 degrees Centigrade), plus very strong winds, blowing at over 100 kmh (70 mph), the waves got so harsh that they passed over the dikes and the droplets immediatly froze everything they touched !
Although the photographs are authentic, some versions of the accompanying text misidentify the geographic location where they were taken. Various false locations have been listed including another Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, and other waterways in the United States, Canada and Europe. The above version of the message correctly identifies the location as Versoix at Switzerland's Lake Léman.

What a hell hole that is.
I'll never complain about winter ever again.
That's way worse than what we get.
