Ice storm in Switzerland? (1 Viewer)

[DeathStar1]

I got one of those forwarded emails that older family members that work in big companies like to forward off to other family members from time to time...

This one was actually pretty interesting. It showed a town called Versoix(?) Switzerland, and the entire town looked like it was coated in a giant ice sheet. Cars where covered in ice, railings had ice that when forming with the wind blowing, where frozen at an angle.... whole benches where frozen solid, and there was about a 3 inch thick sheet of ice on the street...

Anyone know when this event took place? You'd think you would have heard about it on the weather channel or something if THAT much ice had accumulated..
