Jan 19, 2014: Fish 'flash-frozen' by harsh Norwegian winds

The water temperature must have been hanging right on the edge in order to freeze quick enough to prevent the fish from getting away.
I wonder if it froze below them, as well as above them, trapping them in between until it all froze?

That is seriously weird. I bet dogs like it though.

The sad thing is - see the leash? The dog's owner is holding the end of it... under the ice.

It's pre-seasoned so all you need is a few onions and a bucket of milk for Cream of Herring Soup.

...and cats.

Norwegia, fuck yeah!

:lol:

I'm calling Norway "Norwegia" from now on.

Nor way jose ;)

Norwegia is a way better name.

From imjur today, I don't know where or when they were taken.

There's a frog that can involuntarily increase the glucose level in its blood when temperatures go down, which lowers its freezing point. You can literally freeze the frog rock-hard in the freezer, then thaw it out and watch it come back to life.

Edit: Well, the original thing I saw about the frog said it was the glucose thing. This other video says it just pulls the water out of its organs so it doesn't expand inside and burst them.

Wiki says...
;)

Wow.. Maybe it's doing the Scrat thing..

Amazing more of this isn't seen.

I think it happens a lot, but out in the boondocks where nobody sees it.

Wow, that fox pic depresses the hell outta me. Think of how he/she must've suffered before finally succumbing.

Molasar, your post reminded me of this. Slightly NSFW language (puns).

Those boots depress me!
I'm sure they're useful and all that, but they look like hideous winkle-pickers. Won't somebody think of the children...?

Actually Grav, Mr Fox probably lost his marbles to hypothermia long before he was frozen.
Better than dying hot-blooded at the mercy of a pack of dogs.
IMHO and all that.

Fox was probably swimming through some thick slushy water. The slush got thicker, forward progress was slowed. Nothing to climb up onto. But I'll just rest my snout here on this ice burg for a minute and rest. Maybe take a little nap. So tired.

The end.

So yeah. Pretty damn depressing.

And Mrs. Paul hatches a plan.

I keep thinking, and forgive me, please, but











What does the fox say? He don't say nothing, he's frozen stiff!

Hehehehe.


Evil.

Gads man.. That's really cold.

Ice fishing! Just take your handy dandy chain saw out to the frozen pond and cut out a chunk 'o fish. Don't even have to freeze your butt off waiting for a bite.

Maybe the fox is the same thing. Just hanging out in the freezer until Martha's ready to cook 'er up.

:p:

I reckon the shoes are ice skates

I don't think the Fox suffered. It was probably escaping something scarier than cold water or pursuing something tastier. Hypothermia is not unpleasant at the end.

Elk in Norway.

He's hibernating.

Pining.

It's spa day in Norwegia.

I found an article about fish being killed in Minnesota lakes , which may apply to the Norwegian mess.
