8/ Frozen toilet paper

This certainly doesn’t make you want to wipe your bottom…it would certainly be a baptism of fire or should we say baptism of ice… That’s enough of the jokes!

9/ An out of order tap

You are best not to leave a little trickle of water from your tap or you might find yourself with a shard of ice that is as sharp as a knife!

10/ A petrified exhast

Has Mother Nature taken her own measures to stop more pollution?

11/ A fire pump that spews out ice

This fire pump is well and truly frozen!

12/ Objects aren’t the only ones to suffer

This fireman has to brave the cold and not the flames!

13/ Appropriate mascara

Lashes encased in white frost is a sign of a biting glacial cold!

14/ Impressive puff of fresh snow

An amazing display that deserves a round of applause…
