New cars delivered to Russian port caked in ice

(Vladivostok) Dozens of cars have been delivered to a Russian port caked in several inches of ice due to freak weather. Unusually cold and windy conditions meant the cars were plated with a thick layer of frozen seawater on arrival in Vladivostok on board the Sun Rio Ro-Ro cargo carrier. The frozen vehicles had to be hoisted off the deck by a crane in temperatures of -19C (-2F) in Russia's Pacific capital on Tuesday. Some were clad in ice up to six inches thick, said reports.
