I don't (and will not) have PowerPoint, so I don't know what
you're saying.

That's too bad. This is a collection of pictures of the worst
recorded ice storm on lac Leman in a hundred years or more. These are
fascinating scenes with cars, fences, benches encrusted in massive ice
of water that was blown from the lake by a freezing storm.

Oh, an ice storm. The North American northeast had a severe
one about a decade ago...



Cite, I don't remember that.

I can't, because I'm so full of BS.

OTOH, waitaminit, here ya go:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_A..._storm_of_1998

So I ~didn't~ dream/hallucinate it, after all.
Not entirely, anyway.

What else would you like me to look up for you?

Some pictures like the ones in the URL:

The web site in Wiki has a bazillion links, none of which seem to show
the spectacular ice formations that occur with such events. Wiki goes
on and on about how meteorological events take place. How about a
link to some scenes?

Dear Jobst,

Go to www.google.com

Click on the images option.

Type ice storm 1998 into the search field.

Click on the search images button.

See thousands and thousands of photos.

Cheers,

Googling on "ice storm 1998" will turn up all kinds of
other imagery as well.

The Great Ice Storm of 1998 took place more in Canada than
in the continental US, so I guess it's understandable that
so many USA'ans are unaware & ignorant of it.


cheers,
Tom

Uhhh, trees fell over in Peachtree City, GA because of that ice storm.
If you were on the east coast, you should know about it.

I don't remember it at all, and when I look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:19..._Storm_map.png I can
understand why.

Yeah, like I said: it's understandable.

Americans are so understandable. That's why we like yez; yer
so predictable and relieving of the ardour of imagination.

Please keep that. It serves us well as we insidiously buy
your country. You can keep the auto mfg'rs, though.

Don't mind us Canajuns. We just live in igloos and learn
how to kill polar bears with a single punch in the face.

Toronto has some indoor plumbing. We Vancouverites
are jealous. All we have is really good marijuana
and seafood.
