I Woke Up After A Night Of Freezing Rain To Find The Whole City Of Bucharest, Romania, Frozen And Damaged

After a night of freezing rain, I woke up on a crazy and frosty Saturday with the whole city frozen and damaged.

This is a very unusual weather event here so it was really a challenge to walk on the streets without ice skates and hoping that no branch will fall on you.

Many cars were unlucky as they were damaged by branches or even the whole trees that fell on them.

The roads were also full of trees, branches, and ice, and some of the power cables broke under heavy ice which left many trams unable to function.

At night the view was kind of apocalyptic but also interesting; like an icy, end of the world movie. So I took a walk through my neighborhood looking for some nice shots.

    That's what i thought too:)), you should have heard the noise of the branches in the wind.

    Beautiful pictures. Perfect setting for an disaster, apocalypse and/or horror movie. I'm freezing just by looking at the photos. Stay safe and warm out there

    We had this happen a few years back. Came out to my car to find a shell of ice all around the front end of it because of the continuous frozen spray coming from the wind. It was thick enough for us to pull the shell off the front and set it on the lawn as a single piece. It sat there for 3 days before the weather warmed up and melted it. The scariest thing was that same thick ice was on the branches of the trees. Branches that snapped off and fell some 30-40 feet to the ground. My husband worked in a building surrounded by these trees. I made him work for home for those 3 days.

    Pretty and haunting. Better if you don't can look without go outside. Very slippery, dangerous for driving and walking.

    I went through an ice storm in Tennessee and the sounds were terrifying as well as the arcing of the transformers and power lines just surreal and yes these photos really do bring back those sights and sounds. Well Done.

    Welcome to the upcoming Grand Solar Minimum. Many in the know say it will be as bad as the Maunder Minimum. This is but a preview of things yet to come. If you don't know what a GSM is, look it up.
