This winter, areas near New York are seeing record-breaking low temperatures and freak weather instances such as unexpected snow blizzards and storms. After one such chilling storm that took over Canada and the US Tuesday, Niagara Falls partially froze over. Despite the low temperatures, tourists are continuing to flock to Niagara Falls to witness the movie-like landscape of the iconic waterfall. And the videos and photos of the partially frozen waterfall, which is 167 feet tall, are being widely circulated online. #NiagaraFalls pic.twitter.com/PZRUxID6bo — Arthur Morgan (@ArthurM40330824) December 28, 2022 Niagara Falls is incredibly beautiful in the winter ❤️ pic.twitter.com/jWIH5xlV8K — Qasim Rashid, Esq.

The heavy mist clouding over the falls gave it a mythical appearance. This video was shared online by Niagara Action (@NiagaraAction) and has over 83,000 views. Commenting on it, a Twitter user wrote, “Feels like a scene pulled from a Lord of the Rings movie.” Another person wrote, “Looks more majestic than usual. ”. AFTER A BLIZZARD, NIAGARA FALLS IS OFFICIALLY A WINTER WONDERLAND ❄️💙 pic.twitter.com/1Jjc2xykuL — Niagara Action (@NiagaraAction) December 28, 2022 Niagara Falls, which is located between the borders of Canada and the US, is a collective name for the three waterfalls. The largest of the three is Horseshoe Falls, also known as Canadian Falls, which is located within the international border of the two countries. The smaller ones named American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are within the US. While ice forms in and around Niagara Falls every year, it rarely freezes completely. The only documented instance when the waterfalls ceased to flow completely was in March 1848.
