A small description would be dandy... especially when the link is in Finish (or something like that)
I'd rather be phishing!

If you use Chrome, then you can just open the page and an icon will appear at the right end of the address/search bar. Looks like two grey squares with a couple of dots. Click it, and you get the option to translate the page in situ.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I know, but there are actually people out there that doesn't use chrome  
PS: I want that ice in my drinks from now on.

Chrome offered to translate it for me and seemingly did a great job.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

We sometimes get stuff like this happen at Niagara Falls when the conditions are right. The falls give of a constant spray. With temperatures that are not cold enough to freeze the spray as it forms, but surfaces that are below freezing ice forms (much like freezing rain). Add the "right" kind of winds/air turbulence, interesting ice sculptures form naturally.
I've only been there once when conditions were perfect; it was like a scene from Narnia.

Personally I haven seen an freezing rain on a waterfall, but the pictures i found were truly stunning.

We get freezing rain here on a regular basis. Because it's normally a transition condition, it doesn't usually last long, but when it does, it's truly nature's savage beauty. Roads become like glass and trees get so heavily coated with ice that they start shedding branches and even limbs. I still have poplars on my property from last years "ice storm" where a 30' tree's top is almost touching the ground. I've cut most of those down for firewood, but there are still a few.

We don't really get the conditions for freezing rain here, as most of Norway is coastal and heavily influenced by the gulf stream, thereby reducing the factors in which it can appear. But we do get wild storms that stir up the sea in a truly wild way. Its much the same feeling I'd assume, if calm it can be the most tranquil place on earth and give a true feeling of serendipity, but given a storm, its so savage and violent that it more resembles Dante's inferno.
Speaking of which, we do have a storm in the north now. It tore down some key power lines, so the three most northern states are without power.

Last Christmas (after aforesaid ice storm) we were without power for 4 days. We had a small generator that I managed to keep the fridge and freezer going with and we have a wood stove which kept us warm.
This year I installed a 30amp generator with a transfer switch!

Cool enough for ice to form? Is that a trick question?

The Boy has just turned 18.
Soon off to bed for a few hours sleep. Then to work for a few hours and then it'd off to the pub.
Thank Christ we don't live over in Wowserland, else I'd still have to wait another 3 years to go have a drink with him at the pub.

Not to burst your bubble, but you were officially old before that. Your old brain is just realizing the fact now.

Well said, my friend! Well said!

Good for you. Enjoy the good times.

Going by our kids, you're only 7.5 years older than me. That's not old.
