13. Historical moments
In the early 1900s, the phenomenon of the frozen Niagara was not unusual at all. It got frozen almost every year. However, it happened only a very few times when the Falls got completely frozen over, building a “bridge” over the water. As the river never stops to flow underneath, it is very dangerous and forbidden to walk on it.
14. Steam over the Falls
Water spray surrounds Niagara Falls throughout the year, however, when it gets extremely cold, it gets steamy, as well. It happens because water is warmer than the air’s temperature. It is hard to imagine but The National Weather Service warned that wind chills can freeze skin within 15 minutes.
