This Dangerous Fog In Hungary Froze Nearly Everything In Its Path

Is this a preview of the ice age?

A rolling fog recently came through a Hungarian forest in Pilis. What initially looked like a normal fog turned out to be much more than the Hungarian Meteorological Service expected.

Very cool. Makes me think of what could of happened to the mammoth during the ice age.

i see pics of ice storms that look like that every year in the states

That looks really scary. Seeing something the ice fog rolling down the hill would have me terrified.

Very cool! (pun intended?)

Looks like the time Lake Geneva blew over the banks and froze. There were cars that looked encased in ice. I expected to see a person frozen in a block of ice, cartoon style.

Frozen Lake Geneva

Mr. Freeze is that you?

It was scary. Freezing rain

Dobogókő, Hungary:

You know, where I am thus far this winter has been exceptionally cold yet the thermometers don't seem to be detecting the extra "chill factor" in the air. Also, I noticed a very thick and freezy fog these past two days that seems abnormal for the usual weather in these months. Maybe this "polar vortex" thing can only get more extreme. Remember, they've found wooly mammoths frozen solid in a standing stance, chewing on cud. "Flash freeze" seems more and more likely as this "new ice age" weather pattern expands and gets more extreme.

The sound of silence and cracking trees always gives me the creeps in an ice storm. We have had plenty of them here. Pretty the next day though when the sun glitters off it.

That's pretty wicked! One for the doom porn compilation vids.

Cool and creepy
Made me think of The Mist.

Cool stuff. I'm hoping for one of those "crystal days" ice storms this year. Everything encased in ice overnight, and the next morning almost always seems sunny to make it really amazing.

BTW - lots of talk lately about "the ice age" coming, just to clarify, we've been in the Holocene Ice Age for a looooong time. We're in an interglacial period. When the glaciers destroy Lambeau field and then work their way into places we *don't* want buried under a mile of ice, that week be the next *glacial* period.

Just semantics, really, but it seems the semantics are getting in the way of most people understanding what an ice age is, vs periods of glaciation or interglacials within the current, ongoing ice age.

When I first read your thread I read DANGEROUS FROG FREEZES EVERYTHING IN IT PATH, my silly spoonerisms brain............ What a frog that would be. Friggin amazing photos everyone. a reply to: onequestion

I love winter, too bad it rained here and destroyed all the snow. In fact, it's getting hot again. Thanks for the thread, would love to stroll around in that winter wonderland!

"new ice age" what nonsenee. A "cold weather spell" is wt you are experiencing. Come here to Scotland where we currently have nice sunny weather where you can walk around with jacket open, no gloves and no hat!!!! Go back 30 years ago and this time of year if would freeze your face off as you skate around on the ice.

YOUR WEATHER is due to a kink in the jet stream which is causing cold air to be pulled in from the Artic. Excess snow is due to warm (!!) moist air. You do know that the warmer the air the more moisture it can hold. Hence the expression "It's too cold to snow". The prolonged period of "the same" weather is due to he jet stream not meandering as much as normal. The meandering slows down when the differential between the tropics and the artic is lower ie when the artic is warmer. Oh dear, there goes the ice age theory.......

NB "artic getting warmer". FYI just in case maths in not your strong point -5 (cold enough for snow) is considerably warmer than -30 (too cold for snow)

I have seen this happen twice. Once in Gallup, New Mexico and the other time was in Dalhart, Texas.

We have had plenty of them here.

Down in the Atlanta way we don't see them as often, but when we do they are a doozy.



Fun to look at...but a bitch to drive through.

No joke. I almost died one time in a bad snow storm. Came around a bend on the highway at 50 to dead stopped traffic at the bottom of hill. Well i slowed down as fast as possible and lost control. I regained control about ten feet away from a car as we were skidding down the road we were coming to a stop and wam hit a car it it literally straitened us out into the lane. Crazy.

So i looked behind me to see if any cars had done the same thing and a tractor trailer was jacknifing behind us.

We got real real lucky because the truck driver was a total badass and he actually got his truck to stop and it wasnt jacknifed by the time they got to us. Scared the crap out of me and my brother. I was 19 and he was 11.

Unfortunately, the branches of the trees can not hold the ice for long. The result is a terrible destruction:

Whilst I agree with your general thrust of your post, it is a total myth that it can be "too cold to snow". It snows in Antartica, the coldest place on earth and up mountains, where temps can fall well below freezing. It simply becomes harder for it to snow in colder temps, owing to the exact reasons you said about warm air holding moisture better, but it isn't impossible or indeed unusual.

Myth busted once....
Myth busted twice.....
Myth busted thrice....

Made me think of the same thing.

IF

And that's a big If, If we are seeing some sort of returning Phenomena not seen in quite some time, We might see in future events more of this, maybe with an increase in size, duration and intensity?
