In further indications of global warming induced cold, Niagara Falls has frozen over for a second time this winter.
With even colder conditions forecast, it looks unlikely to thaw anytime soon.
Which model predicted that global warming would cause vast waterfalls to freeze solid in winter?

Sure looks pretty… COLD!
Obviously we can see water still rushing over the falls so what is the criteria to say when it is frozen over?
As someone who lives a 1/2 hr or so away from the Niagara Falls, I can verify that global warming, is freezing our a$$es off. Can’t afford ridiculous energy prices. We need global warming, just to survive!!!
Waiting for Nick Stokes to argue it didn’t really “freeze” over.
Oh my! That is something!
Spectacular photos! 🙂 Maybe this global-warming-causing-freezing isn’t so bad after all. ;->

Any update on the great Lakes freezing over?
Told ya so! Thanks for the up date.
Seems as though the only thing that global warming can’t do is to warm the planet.
This all reminds me of when I was a lad and nuclear radiation could do practically anything –
power the world, destroy the world, mutate all life forms into monsters, end all life on planet Earth.
It could do it all. Back then Hollywood tried to scare the folks about nuclear radition for fun and profit. Nowadays our corrupt scientists use global warming fears to do the same thing,for approximately the same reasons. We’ve come a long way , Baby.
It’s probably freezing some deadly virus! lol
If global warming causes cooling and we want to avoid further warming, then shouldn’t we induce more warming for cooling? Uuhh ,err… anyway spectacular pictures.

The Great Lakes are over 90% frozen.
This one lists 91%:

This one listed 90.5% yesterday, but is at 86.2% today (wind maybe?):

One more polar intrusion and hell will freeze over! A few more winters like this and the Great Ice Mountains will begin growing once more. They didn’t come down from the north, they grew in place. pg
Thanks Eric. What a beautiful, cold spectacle.
pg Sharrow – Hell HAS frozen over !
It’s so cold that now HELL has frozen over: Michigan town falls victim to record cold temperatures
• Temperatures in the small town of Hell in Michigan yesterday plunged to -13C, with a wind chill of -33C
• The 200 residents of Hell have been cut off by frozen snow and have been helping each other keep warm
• Much of the Midwest and east of the country has been badly hit by the winter storm Hercules
• Several cities have come to a standstill with residents urged to stay inside their homes for their own safety
• As well as Michigan, Chicago and Detroit have been badly hit by the cold polar vortex

The Arctic front sweeping across the United States has got so cold that Hell has literally frozen over.
As winter storm Hercules swept across the north of the country, the small town of Hell in Michigan saw temperatures plunge to -13C, with a wind chill of -33C.
The sub-zero polar air caused snow several feet deep to freeze over – cutting off the 200 residents of Hell. Shops in the town have been forced to close up while snowed in neighbors helped each other stay warm.

To borrow the words from Bob Tisdale,,, BURRRR!
[To be accurate, the mods note that Bob Tisdale actually said:
Not BURRRR. Mod]
Obviously, very local, short-term weather is what caused a massive lake system containing some large fraction of the world’s fresh water to freeze over. But if it’s 3° over normal for a half of an hour in Canberra, that’s definitely part of a long-term trend.
That picture is quite amazing! But don’t worry – climate scientists are predicting an ice-free Niagra Falls this summer…
This should compete with the 1911 picture that has been sent around before.
The live Hilton Cam is HORSESHOE FALLS…Canadian Side.
Some years ago a female scientist predicted, 15 years of colder winters were enough to suggest that we are headed for a glacial period. If ice doesn’t melt enough in some areas or snow, it will build up.
For Australia and New Guinea, there were few glaciers, maybe some in the Southern Alps and one in Tasmania. But about 10,000 years ago, the big melt did see the beginnings of the monsoon belt, and the land bridges between PNG and Tasmania disappearing. The Aborigines nearly all around Australia mainland, then moved to coastal regions rather than inland to harvest sea food as well as other coastal or river resources. Never short of fresh water even in the interior where they knew where to get water as some water holes began to dry up. So welcome an increase in surface temperatures, 2 C is not a catastrophe, never was. More heat, and a silent sun, means more rain.
