Thats wierd, looks cool though... must suck a lot.... i feel bad the one car in there looks like it would be a nice one, the car right behind the first car spotted in the first picture, on another angle, in the second picture you can also tell.. how would that have happened though... would the water not have to freeze almost immediately after making its way up? like the way the ice is frozen on the trees/?????

Icicles form over time. The ice on the trees didn't happen instantly. It built up that way. The wind blows on a droplet of water and pushes it to one side, it freezes before it can drip down. Another droplet runs down that first one, the wind keeps it on the side, what doesn't drop to the ground freezes on that side. Repeat as necessary until you have a big icicle pointing the direction of the wind.

I remember people in college trying to "flash freeze" hot water by running outside and throwing it in the air. While that is possible, it has to be damn cold to work. No one was able to do it.

I've seen that "flash freeze" thing before...I saw it on the news a few years back. It was during a horrible winter in Colorado and the vid I saw showed a lady walk out her front door with a pot of boiling water. She threw the water in the air and it was frozen before it hit the ground.

Like he said that would be practically impossible because the person would have to freeze even before he had time to throw the water up, since it would have to be so cold.
