Oh gosh BBC, you make me cry. My, now belated dad and I stopped to look at this together in the late winter in 1992 passing through the land to reach my destination. He sat with me on a bench for a few minutes and said to me "This might be the last time you see this before it's gone. I can't see paying for water when it's free to look at". It was just the most amazing and massive snow and ice natural display I ever saw in person! I can't watch it. I'll cry too hard. My dad 1920-2000. I try hard not to bawl more tears. It was one of the most precious moments I ever had with my dad. Thank you *so* much for posting this. Love from Michigan USA

Niagra falls is very UNDERWHELMING when not frozen like this.

[@guesswho36]

N Said trust me after 2mins U will get bored lmao, I’ve been there like 1000x probably, when I go to Niagara I don’t even look at the falls lmao

[@nitrampd]

Niagara Falls, Canadian side, is usually pretty busy. However, after a couple of really cold winter days and nights, head to the falls after dark. Fewer people is the first benefit but more so; the mist will have had a chance to accumulate and freeze on all the hand rails and lamp posts and pretty much everything. You end up with a most remarkable show as mist, ice, light, and the roar of the falls engage in a sensory winter dance. Screw summer, come in winter; truly awe inspiring. (This is not a paid advertisement for Tourism Canada.) 🙂

[@towhereverdreaminggoes2713]

Been there in winter, still beautiful!

[@WinterCactusRed]

Me and my husband saw it frozen last February. It was quite beautiful, and the Casino nearby has excellent food. It's definitely a trip everyone should take.

[@jcamisa50]

Been there numerous times. Just love the roar of the falls. Both Nigrara nd Horesshoe .

I always find it interesting to see how much people want to come to Niagara Falls, I mean I see it pretty much everyday, so in a way I never got that amazement from seeing it for the first time

[@kevinandange]

Beautiful. Definitely on our bucket list 👌

[@luckyme4136]

So why don't fish freeze to death? Fish produce antifreeze which they harvest from the protein in their food. It keeps the blood circulating essentially.

[@gus473]

Also, moving water beneath the ice obviously is not freezing...😎

Everything is overrated 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@hecatombhenbaneharuspex6303]

I live close and I've seen the falls dozens of times and I admit that the falls are overrated but again that's because I'm so used to them. I can understand however that it's really amazing for a non-local.

how cold does it have to be to freeze it all the way

[@sm-wc3cj]

why in the thumbnail it says Drew Binsky viewers watch this---- :/

[@newtron1]

There are 3 Falls - American, Bridal Veil and Horseshoe. From a tourism perspective the Canadian side is far superior and offers the best views / vantage points along with numerous attractions, parks, wineries etc. Plus the Canadian based Hornblower tour boats are modern / larger than the older American Maid of the Mist vessels. Just sayin.

How does the New York Electric Authority make sure that the water continuously flow? Do they have giant heaters making sure that the ice never forms on the river?

[@albatrose1001]

No, it just never freezes. Also, the falls are Canadian.

I made the same comment to the BBC, why are you not showing the Canadian site even though is the most beautiful site. I thought we Canadians as a British Colony we would rank a little higher than the Americans but also the Canadian site of Niagara Falls are always considered the most beautiful. BBC you dropped the mike on that one.

she says "with the creation of the power plant it doesn't freeze". Why not ?

[@peterbarton9856]

The plant warms the main proportion of water sufficiently enough for it to not freeze when it reaches the falls.

[@95bochamp]

Uh, no. Both plants are downstream from the falls.

She isnt American, she's Canadian with her accent

[@95bochamp]

Nope. Her accent is from the Buffalo area. Not Canadian at all.

[@spartikuzTV]

🤔

[@terrymoore861]

Why are Canada, North America Russia and central Europe seeing increased cold weather? Simples... As Siberia slides up to the geographic north, the huge land mass accumulates more snow and ice and ultimately icebergs, the intense cold is leaking south. As the sea between Greenland and Siberia moves south, the north is losing the benefit of a 'warmer' area which used to help increase the overall temperature in the geographic north pole.

[@markw4318]

Newsflash: The Canadian border gets as cold as Canada!
