Are you suggesting this MIGHT have happened before??

HERETIC!!

That photo, is OBVIOUSLY photoshopped..... How do we even KNOW it’s from 1911? And, not last week?

Have you no shame, Nana?

I did this. I drive an SUV, use hair spray and (gulp) plastic bags...sorry.

I THINK SO.

The only thing colder than this is the friendship between Odumbo and Putin.

Now that's just, um, terrible. Tell me, do you use the approved light bulbs? And if so, when they die do you make sure to break them in the bottom of the trash can so some environweenie will develop bovinations over it??.. ;-)

(How did we survive all those years of broken fluorescents before they invented hazmat cleanup crews???)

Digging further finds this info:

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.

Got lost down a youtube hole, thanks.

I’m sure that the goridiots are saying that Niagara Falls freeze this year is due to “man made climate change”, so I wonder what their reason was for the freeze in 1911. probably back then it was just a really cold natural winter.

It is not always advisable to follow the rabbit...

OK many thanks for that info.

A hundred year event...

So much for globe-bull warming.

I found a bunch of pictures of "Frozen Niagara Falls" last year, and here they are. They weren't Reuters.

You beat me to it! No surprise there, Mr. Photo Master. ;-)
