Southern Romania is paralysed by heavy snow leaving a lot of people stuck in their cars. The country has even drafted in the army to rescue hundreds of travellers stranded by blizzards that dumped up to a meter of snow in 24 hours.

I would not even dare to cross this bridge by car and even less by foot!

Storm and bad weather look incredible on these photos of nature.

A storm with ping-pong-ball-sized hailstones raged across Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The houses look as if they were fired on from machine guns.

Phoenix , July 5: A successful “apocalypse rehearsal.”

This ship battered in severe and very powerful storm in Russia. The rescue team wasn’t afraid to perform their dangerous operation to help the ship’s crew set their feet on the ground, alive and well. These photos look rather challenging as the storm was very bad.

Meanwhile, the snow continues to sweep the USA. This 2011 blizzaster is the largest snow storm in decades.

This lighthouse braving the storm in France looks very impressive and gorgeous. See more spectacular photos are after the jump.

The Christmas holiday is winding down now we have the New Year to look forward to; thank goodness we have a week to prepare for the New Year. Relax a bit and have a cookie as you enjoy this Monday’s montage.

Weather Whoa

These photographs are dated 1977. They capture a ship caught in a horrible storm. They were taken by one of the ship crew members.

Chinese people can even feel dust in the air. It’s difficult to breeze, so tourists and local citizens go out hiding their faces in scarves. Dust storms are seasonal phenomenon in Asia, and right now China is covered with “sand powder”. At the same time this orange dust makes photos exclusive, even close to retro style. I bet photographers have much work to do on open air :)
