Do you know where the picture was taken? I somehow suspect it's not Lancaster/Palmdale on a cold morning. Notice how the ice makes a lump over the tristar on the hood?

Try right-clicking on the link (assuming you're using MSIE or Firefox) and saving the image. The problem seems to be at your end.

In all the years of living in cold places I have never seen this kind of ice storm! This must of been an anomaly of sorts. Freezing rain is just not very common here in Colorado.

As far as getting the car going after this, I think that you really have to wait until the ice melts a lot. There is not way that you could remove enough of this ice to drive it. One reason is that you will probably damage the car and the other is that you will have wheels totally off balance, ice is unforeseeable places and a bunch of other hazards. Talk about grounding your car for a while!!

Where is this and whose car is it?

Steve
