Freezing temperatures transform Niagara Falls into a winter wonderland BY MICHAEL MCGOUGH mmcgough@sacbee.com As a deep freeze across the Midwest and East Coast has dropped temperatures, wreaked havoc on highways and forced cancellations of many New Year’s celebrations, the frigid weather has also made one of the world’s most beautiful tourist destinations an even more remarkable sight than usual. Niagara Falls partially froze starting Friday, as seen in breathtaking photos and videos, many of them posted to social media. Muhammad Lila ?@MuhammadLila Guys, not to alarm anyone, but the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is an icy, winter wonderland right now (via @punkodelish IG @Arjsun @AdamRDanni) 9:59 AM - Dec 28, 2017 John Cohen ?@JohnCohen1 The photos of frozen Niagara Falls look like shots from a Roland Emmerich trailer. 7:09 AM - Dec 30, 2017 Rifat Iqbal Mirza@rifat710 This not painting it's real picture of Niagara falls now in winter cold 10:48 AM - Dec 29, 2017 Though appearing frozen, the river is actually running as normal and is not what’s freezing over – rather, mist from the waterfalls freezes as it lands on its surroundings, according to the Buffalo News. Nonetheless, the result is an icy spectacle, described by commenters on Twitter as “surreal,” “amazing” and other superlatives. The massive trio of waterfalls straddling the Canada-New York border was formed by glacial activity more than 10,000 years ago. It’s been a tourism hotspot (in both countries) since the 19th century, according to History.com. Niagara Falls Tourism claims that about 12 million tourists visit the destination every year. The record-setting deep freeze, affecting about half the U.S., is the result of a blast of Arctic air, and is expected to continue into the first week of January. Niagara’s winter wonderland seems to be a welcome bright side to extreme conditions that have already harmed people, dogs and even sharks. sacbee.com
