Spring broke down: because of the storm, cars in New York froze to the pavement and covered with an ice crust

No, it's not a woolly mammoth... It's an SUV parked in the wrong place in bad weather. The driver parked on the shore of a lake in Hamburg, New York, and when he returned to his car, he saw it covered in ice, reports New York Post.

The car window probably had a beautiful view of Lake Erie on St. Patrick's Day. At the same time, at the time of parking, the air temperature was above zero Celsius. The temperature began to drop, and then the wind picked up. On Saturday, wind gusts reached 47 miles (76 km) per hour, which caused a severe storm on the lake and a large amount of spray.

The ice grew and even formed mini-icicles that looked like fur.

In addition to the wind and frostbite of the car due to humidity, the SUV's wheels froze to the ground.

The unique combination of air, water and wind temperatures provided a similar viral video clip in Canada, north of Buffalo, in December. The whole area was covered in ice. It was more like a scene from the movie Frozen.

While photos and videos can be beautiful on land, the same scenes can be deadly at sea. The NWS and Environment Canada have teamed up to better predict this phenomenon, calling it Freezing Spray Project.

Agencies collected photographs and reports from ships to avoid tragedies like the Lady of Grace. Ice built up on the mast, rigging, railings and all surfaces above deck. This raised the ship's center of gravity.

The unstable ship capsized and all four people on board were killed. The ship was in the waters off Nantucket Island in January.

According to the newspaper Cape Cod Times, the Lady of Grace became the second commercial fishing vessel to capsize due to ice in almost 100 years.

The NWS Ocean Prediction Center said freezing spray is a common occurrence during cold weather months at high latitudes. For example, in 2015, the NWS issued over 3 freeze spray warnings.
