Frozen landscapes (photos)

Well, I hadn't the time to post so much this month, but I had the chance to take some beautiful photos!
The new year started with very low temperatures, but there was no precipitation, except of Sunday 4/1. All lakes and most of the sea areas, where the water was calm, got frost and dry snow covered the ice! At the same day, Hovden was the coldest place in Norway with -28,8oC, while the temperature around Arendal was down to -14oC!102_9786
  

I was ice skating with a friends on a lake that Sunday and took some beautiful photos.

Even some small waterfalls froze!


The same temperatures were experienced even in UK, France and Germany with frozen rivers, lakes and seas.

Weird Cirrus formation-like a tornado! (photo)


26 December 2008, Arendal-South Norway.
A strange formation of Cirrus clouds, that looked like tornado a cold day. I don't know what it really is... Maybe just a virga or something else?
I don't think it's something important, but if you know please comment.
