“@EveningExpress: Residents in Aberdeen's Footdee woke up to a layer of sea foam covering cars and houses. http://pic.twitter.com/cufCdz3p” Amazing!!!
- Several observers cracked jokes about the foam, likening the small fishing town to a giant car wash, bubble bath, frat party or winter wonderland after the storm passed.
But it was actually sea foam, a mixture of seawater, sand and ocean material, that blanketed Footdee, which is on the west coast of Scotland near Aberdeen. - Photographs and videos taken by local residents show houses, walkways, roads and cars covered by the substance.

Footdee is one of many places in the U.K. being affected by severe weather this week.
According to the Telegraph, torrential downpours in Britain caused flooding in many areas, seeing more than 100 homes evacuated and the counry’s busiest train line jammed up.
