In Alaska we sometimes use a salamander (big tube with a fan and propane flames) to heat really frozen cars. It can harm plastic bumpers if you're not careful though. Once you get access to the hood: drain the oil, pull the battery, and take them both inside to warm up. While you wait, position the salamander so that it's blowing hot air under the engine block (this is the real bumper-damaging part) to heat it up enough for the remaining oil to drop down into the pan. After a while, pour the oil back in and install the battery. It's gotten me out of some real bad spots...but nothing's as good as getting battery, oil pan, and engine heaters installed that run to an extension cord plug that comes out the front grill. Most parking lots in the Arctic have outlets at the front of each parking space that get turned on for the winter. If you don't have any of that, the last resort is going out and starting the car for 15 minutes every few hours.
If it was me? I'd use a block heater if it had one then try to remote start it. My 2nd step regardless of if it had a remote start would be to try and build a little fire a few feet from the driver's side and throw a heating blanket on the Windshield or top of the door. Gotta thaw it one way or another. Could maybe get some methanol (winter washer fluid concentrate) and try dumping that on it. Obviously don't do that if you're going to do the fire. Methanol fires are near invisible.
I was born in Olga Primorsky Krai near Vladivostok and all winter basically you have to keep the car going other wise the engine freezes over and you can’t drive anywhere all winter
I live along Lake Erie and a few Winters ago an apartment complex on the lake had their cover blow off their pool and it ended up getting the water from strong winds all over people's cars and totally frozen like this. Needless to say people were not happy at all as the apartment complex didn't know what to do to get the cars out.
For real?! That is an unreal amount of ice. Part of New York is currently under almost 8’ of snow (2 meters). I don’t know what’s worse, the ice or the snow lol
Ice storms can be so beautiful! After the sun comes out everything shines like diamonds. I had to drive a uhaul through one and once we drove further north it was absolutely stunning, but scary af in regards to the driving part.
Your reminder that over 140 million people live in Russia and they are as much a victim of their dictator as the rest of the world and when their government falls they will need all the help they can get.
Winter looms large as Russian economy collapses,supply chains fall apart,and the disastrous blunder of attacking Ukraine plunges whoever is left into the “good old days “.

That looks like frozen spray from the ocean rather than from rain.
Yeah, this will happen anywhere that freezes in the winter if you leave your car near water with waves
I agree as you can see cars up the hill that do not have close to this amount of ice, if any.
Yeah this is russia's main pacific port city, further south than crimea actually
Winter in Chicago, IL just off Lake Michigan.
Not to worry, Ukraine will ensure the snow is off before summer!
When textures didn't load properly
When you haven't unlocked the car.
Oh it got the proper load...
When ubisoft hype up new game in advertisement and then downgrade the graphics when the game is released.
Genuinely, how to you access the vehicle? Let alone drive.

You dig a hole up from below
Just wait 6 months.
There is a place where people 'solve' the problem by leaving the car running 24/7 so it can't freeze.
Call the Crazy Russian Hacker.

You need a special de-icing operation
I used an extension cord and a hair dryer a few days ago. That ice is quite a bit thicker though.
That’s a Lada ice.
I needed a chuckle :D

Are you sure it’s not spring? Kinda looks like spring.
Normal spring in russia
OMG, and I wonder what happens if you show up late to work?
You get shown your choice of window to "fall out of".
Congrats.
They send you to Ukraine to die for no reason than ego.
If those were bicycles, would they have become bisicles?
Bicicles you mean? Lol
Get out, right now
She's a little confused,but she got the spirit.
Fuck everything about that.
Correct
boss paying minimum wage: that’s no excuse, i expect you here in an hour 💀
Is this KP Plumbing?
Two things:
Looks like they stole someone spot so they turned the hose on them.
So hell froze over? Sorry, bad me

No wonder they’re so angry

Wow thats my city

For real? Whose Crimea is?
I have a hazy memory of getting shit faced and telling a room full of russians that the name “vladivostok” sounded really cool and was fun to say
Freezing rain causes this. Super satisfying cleaning it if it comes off in big chunks.

As long as it doesn't scratch the paint when it comes off.
Oh yeah peel off the whole back window at once.
OMG they didn't leave their windshield wipers up! /s
Yes, that will be their biggest obstacle
So… an engine heater is probably a good idea, yeah?
Thaw out your car with a flame thrower
You're going to need a bigger ice scraper.
Nice ice sculptures.
Honey I forgot the cigarettes in the car last night, I'll just get them quickly....
Immediately no
It's not Russia without brutal winter weather.
Damn. What happens when winter actually arrives?
They still keep Cars in original packaging?
When you put your color changing hot wheel in the freezer
New Russian Armored Vehicles being deployed. 😂
- 'Hi Boss, I think I might be late for work today. Sorry I know it is Monday and we have an important meeting this morning'
You sure that's not video game
Mei from Overwatch has been banned
We call that a sarcarphagus
Russia needs to chill
No wonder they drink so much Vodka.
Wisconsin, “Hold my beer”.
Real life buffering
I shivered looking at this
They might need to turn defrost on
Cool cars
I have lag in my connection
Rust
New lock system for cars
Looks like the frigid side of a nasty break-up to me.
Looks like a crappy 3D scan
You’ll need a chisel and hammer to get somewhere.
looks like a crisp autumn day
Have fun explaining that to your boss
Pics that go hard
🤦♂️ I left my ice scraper in the car.
So, the Russian people cocoon their cars in ice during the winter so that in the spring the cars emerge more powerful than ever... Interesting
it would be so satisfying to watch this car warm up.
Breaking news from RT: Ukraine deploys new ice weapon, we must continue defending ourselves!
It would be a real shame if something were to happen to their critical energy infrastructure.
This seems cold, i feel like something could go wrong trying to conquer it in winter uhmm
“Yeah i might be an hour late today… maybe more”
Why tf do people live there? This is ridiculous. If I was a caveman and I found a place that froze solid every winter I would simply not life there.
Scrape it off with a credit card
I didn't know they had Challengers in Russia
Hammond!!!
Dudes need to update their drivers. Those textures are bugged out.
Suddenly my CD case window scraper seems so inadequate.
At least no one is blowing up your infrastructure so you can stay in a heated home.
Boss be like “you’re still coming in today, right?”
that's some good cardio with a manual scraper
Well, that looks like bullshit.
So... do you still need to go to work?
So just out of curiosity, ice expands and all that, does this ruin the cars when this happens?
Pov: you are German in 1941
Life becomes difficult in colder climes without fossil fuels. Here in Canada without gas, for heat, life would be unsustainable.
What do the homeless do in the winter there?
Hydro power ftw!
wellthatsucks
Does anyone know if this damages the engines at all?
No do that in the west if Russia thanks
Your reminder that over 140 million people live in Russia and they are as much a victim of their dictator as the rest of the world and when their government falls they will need all the help they can get.
‘Used car for sale! Defrosted only once’
So don't live there.
But you need a car to go somewhere else
[удалено]
I'm sure that'll buff out
Interesting
Dead battries
Remote start?
Well cancel MY vacation plans!
Do they ice skate to go to work ?
That looks like low graphics GTA 5
Ser Lowkey ut som en AI genererad bild
You can post a de-icing asmr video now.Great opportunity
looks like bad photogrammetry
Perfect
Doesn't that fuck up the engine or car parts?
If you don't warm up the oil in that car you're gonna have a bad time
In Soviet Russia, Ice crush YOU!
Bruh.
They get everything that’s coming to them. Including an ice storm. Enjoy
Maybe the volcano will solve this soon.
Winter looms large as Russian economy collapses,supply chains fall apart,and the disastrous blunder of attacking Ukraine plunges whoever is left into the “good old days “.
Good
Why?
That's crazy. Maybe the thoughts of Ukrainian babies burning in hospitals will help keep them warm.
I hope a few Ruskies freeze in it this winter
We have 50% Frost magic resistance. Won't work.
F..k Russia.
Wish all of Russia lays under ice. Would be much better for the world.
"Wish putin lays under ice. Would be much better for the world"
Good. Fuck Russia. Fuck Putin.
Says weed hippie
no wonder Russian people always seem mad.
So caused by Global Warming? Climate Change? 🤔
Here they are, here’s todays fool
Fire hydrant gone wild?
Boss: "you still be able to make it to work, yeah?"
Only Vladivostok?
Call it a day.
Holy cow! I wonder how long it takes to thaw the vehicle so they can go to work in the morning
Quattro season
Im more grateful im in texas now sheesh
Ain’t no way, bro. Ain’t no way. I’d move.
I should call her
Ummm nope
Wait a minute I got to just take a piss...
♿
More info here:
This is either back from 2020 or some local accident like broken heating pipe
What is this gta IV?
Looks like Buffalo Lake Effect
looks like the most low quality car of gta3
I lived in Montreal for the ice storm of 98 and everything looked like this
And this was supposed to be a warmer southern city that has a port that will stay liquid in the Russian winters
When you turn on "fuzzy walls" in your slicer
hmmm
I ordered the model WITH heated seats, thank you...
Why is it so cold there? It's further south than Seattle.
Partially this
looks like poorly rendered assets when your GPU can't handle it
or just basically in every eastern european country
Tarp + heater.
Welcome to the cum zone
Can’t make it to work today.
PS2 BE GOIN CRAZYYYY
Freezing rain right?
Slipping and breaking your leg at least one time a year lol. I hate cold
That’s gonna be a problem
I'm in Alberta but I'll stop complaining about our cold.
Where do I get this Fennec skin?

They’re hibernating
This shit looks fake. Wow
Same scenario to be seen in Vladivostok in July because of the Sanctions!
This looks like it's the negative of a photo for some reason!
