Full title: Niagara Falls comes to a halt AGAIN: Millions of gallons of cascading water is frozen in bitter temperatures
hey! an Ideal location for Al Gore to hold another Global Warming Open Question forum.
Sometimes it seems like the UK Daily Mail is more on top of our stuff than U.S news sources.
Send Al Gore over it in a barrel NOW.
Good find! Thanks!
NOT my fault.
Only a supervillain would do something so heinous on purpose.
Sloooowly I turned. Step by step. Inch by inch...
I did this. I drive an SUV, use hair spray and (gulp) plastic bags...sorry.
THE NUMBER ONE question everyone asks about this set of images is, "Does Niagara Falls ever really freeze over like this?" And the answer is yes. During an extended winter cold snap a hardened crust of ice can accumulate over parts of the falls — American Falls in particular — creating an amazing, naturally-formed ice sculpture, if you will, that has been known to reach a thickness of 50 feet. Neither the river nor the falls ever freezes solid, mind you. The water continues to flow beneath the ice at all times, albeit reduced to a mere trickle on rare occasions when ice jams block the river above the falls.
FYI (to the ping lists members):

Won’t faze ‘em, Niagara Falls freezing over. I think the entire Great Lakes could freeze solid and they’d still be true believers.
