The big freeze in Poland - escape to Sweden

My Polish friends were telling me about a winter so cold 30 or more years ago, that Poles were able to drive over the Baltic to Sweden.

Can anybody tell me more about this.

don't drink vodka with them

Last time Baltic froze 2 years ago but just a bit near the shore in some places, the whole sea also used to freeze but last time that happened in late 17th century.

But it's fun drinking Wódka with Poles

I recall hearing something like that which happend in 70s, unfortunately I don't know more than you.

But definately not the whole sea.

I found this article from '03 that say's it might be the first time the Baltic will freez over since 1948.

It seems they have got the timing wrong but it could have happened?

according to the article is happened in 1948

I believe it will happen again soon

I believe it won't. People were perishing in 2005/06 but the last 2 years have been mild in comparison. It has been cold this year but it wasn't freezing for too long.

So much for ice fishing then darned weather problems! Tommorow may something different all together

Sandek, Drink better wodka without k: Wod/k/a. That's healthier.

I don't like alcohol.

Concerning temperature: Last winter I wanted to go to Nowy Sacz. In Warsaw there were -30 degrees. There was lot's of chaos.

Extreme cold vs extreme heat Take your pick!

Not while attempting to drive over the baltic. :P

Porta, You make my day with a smile!
