  Cars Trapped In Frozen Flood by computerglobal(op): 6:34pm On Jan 07, 2018*

As Boston digs out from Thursday's blizzard that dumped over a foot of snow and led to its worst flooding in 40 years, it was faced with another weather headache - single-digit temperatures that created rivers of ice water and trapped a number of cars.

Some car owners tried to prepare for the storm by lifting their windshield wipers and opening their trunks so that they wouldn't be buried under snow and frozen.
.

According to The Boston Globe, about 20 residents needed to be evacuated from their homes. Some of them were rescued by high-water vehicles deployed by the National Guard

Also in Virginia, a 75-year-old man was hit and killed by a snowplow while clearing snow from parking lots.

According to the National Weather Service, Boston broke the record for the highest ever recorded tide on Thursday.

Benjamin Sipprell, a meteorologist in Boston for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, told the Daily Beast that the flooding was a result of the blizzard hitting at high tide, and the high tide being higher than usual due to Wednesday's supermoon.

A supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit. This happens about four to six times a year.

I hear you Brother.

I'm slowly building my estate. I do what I can whenever I come home and I lock the gate when I leave.

Some "Nairaland children" have accused me of "laying one block per year" but that's better than hearing stories that touch grin

Wipers I get and I actually do that occasionally.

But never the trunk.

Re:   Cars Trapped In Frozen Flood by ricki: 9:29am On Jan 09, 2018

they lift the trunk up because it is easier to gain entry whilst the doors might have frozen solid...... grin
