Freeze-up and the first ice

Winter this year in Voronezh came sharply. Until November 26, the weather stayed above zero, 27th at + 1 ° C, the first snow fell, and then the 29th spiked yet, but the temperature does not fall below -5 ° C. So, how to order, on December 1st in broad daylight once sharahnulo -18 ° C, and at night selling thermometers to -22 ° C! At five o'clock in the evening, I went to work and, passing by the Voronezh Reservoir, stunned by what he saw the spectacle. Visually, it seemed that the water is about to boil - such evaporation rising from its surface! And this against a background of blood-red sunset! I thought that with such a morozyake tomorrow will be ice on the reservoir, and that the process of freeze-up it is necessary to take a picture.

In 1972, on the river Voronezh Voronezh Reservoir was created, which has become a serious problem for the bridge: the support started to collapse, since their construction used salt supplements, plasticizers. In 1989, the condition of the bridge was considered an emergency and the authorities decided to reconstruct it.
