Friday, January 3, after a meeting earlier this afternoon, I decided to go take some pictures at the lake. -15 ° C, the wind at 120km/h and humidity
are a mixture of lake ice cold. Especially when the wind forms waves suffisemment high to freeze all the platforms and even cars that are parked. The
Koala jones is also passed to the lake to retrieve his hat. Here are some pictures from this day
Here is the video showing several days of this story :
Following the report Tuesday, February 7. Starting at noon with Nanasse towards the lake and the harbor of Geneva after our shop. The pontoon
has a good ten cm thick ice above. The wind is still strong, with outstretched arms it was pushed by the wind. The hardest thing is to slow down
to not pass (yet) to water. The wind shook the ice and we listen to the melody for a while but inactivity makes us feel the bitter cold despite
the robust casing (like an onion, in order: t-shirt, sweater, micro fleece, thick fleece). I push into the small lighthouse but the crossing,
even if it is only 30m, and long (a good 15 minutes). The Crosswind pushes me to the edge and I have to give right to not pass water. It must
also be careful not to lose balance. Here are some pictures of this afternoon there:
On the platform we see a rather special panel under 50cm of ice ... Antifreeze, really?
Nanasse full test hardness of ice, along with 20cm thick ... it may have hurt her foot.
Last photo with a hot chocolate, once you are rid of all the ice we had on us. Here is the status of the camera bag (not on Tuesday 7 but on
Friday 3, when I returned home alone after falling to the water. Koala jones '' Ice Cube'' mode.).
Wednesday, February 8, back at the lake on the docks of Versoix. This time there was a lot of ice: 20cm. But there are also cars that are made trap:
a Twingo, a Jeep and a Break:
There are also cars that frosted the barrel in front of City Hall and I had shot the last time he too finds himself under 20cm of ice is
unrecognizable. The benches, trees, boats and the telescope are also under the ice.
On the dock we can find people just who do not fear the cold.
And finally here is a little HDR of the town hall of Versoix.
