weather like this, won't phase this little guy.

Yes, that's a skier strapped to the top of a land speed car. Why? Who the f*ck knows, but there's been a whole load of skiers who have given this a try...

'Jungle' Jim Hunter was possibly the originator of strapping yourself and your skis to a vehicle when he invented truck skiing, prior to winning bronze at the 1972 Sapporo Olympics. He used this as practice and got up to the mighty speed of about 62mph. "

An 8 minute 35mm 1963 film of a british train bursting through snow in the countryside.

"Snow was Geoffrey Jones' first film for British Transport Films (BTF) but it owes its existence to a happy twist of fate. In September 1962 Jones began his research for a film about design for the British Railways Board. Armed with a 16mm camera, he travelled throughout the country, shooting film 'notes' of anything he found particularly interesting…Read more>> http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/1234415/index.html

Dude, where's my car?

"Damn, this isn't my car…" *fills hole back in*

Oh internet….This is actually Russia, don't feel bad though, I still LOL'd

The concept is simple: put a rope on a car or motorcycle, presumably equipped with studded snow tires, then have the driver navigate a race course at speeds up to 100 miles per hour….

Filmed in Bavaria, Germany 1955.

"In the Russian city of Perm, deep within the country, means long, cold winters, which is good if you want to make longer-lasting ice sculptures.

A detailed, full-sized replica of the current generation Toyota Land Cruiser SUV was built by talented artists during a winter once sculpture expo. It's even got an interior which is accessible through the driver door, intentionally left open so kids can clammer in and enjoy."

This is 10 minutes BUT if you skim, it's pretty awesome!

The 'Snow Vehicle' made by Armstead Snow Motors in 1924 is able to drive in the deepest snowdrifts with ease.

If you find yourself in the middle of a winter storm, before you hunker down on the couch for a Netflix marathon, ask yourself "where did I park my car?"

In 1978 this stolen 1974 Ferrari was exhumed in Los Angeles after being buried for four years.

Epecuen, Argentina. In 1985 a long period of heavy rains sent the lagoon bursting over its banks, and it swept over a busy small town
Epecuen was submerged beneath 10 metres (30 feet) of water and 1,500 residents fled their homes
Even when waters receded, the country town, 550 kilometres (340 miles) south of the capital, was never rebuilt. Here is a photo of what is left.
