The sun came out for only 15 minutes. Just to make this experience even more memorable I guess. I froze my butt off with —25 Celcius 🥶 #winter #waterfalls #cold #unforgettable #canada🍁 #businesstrip #bookingcom

Selon la chaîne CNN, une puissante tempête de neige serait à l'origine de ce gel. Les températures dans la région ont baissé à —20°/-25°C. La vapeur d'eau en suspension dans l'air se transforme en givre et se dépose sur les arbres, les pierres et les parapets.

Niagara Falls winter wonderland❄️ • • I’ve always wanted a frozen winter shot here, so of course while planning a weekend in Toronto I had to wish for some snow to make a bus ride down there worth it. What I didn’t plan on was that my wish would turn into arctic temperatures and a winter storm that even Canadians seemed phased by. But regardless of the absurd cold, I don’t think there’s any question that seeing the falls like this was absolutely worth it. I’d say you can make a pretty strong case that winter is the most beautiful time to visit Niagara…of course you’d need to arguing that point to someone who doesn’t mind the cold or snow and doesn’t really want to do most of the tourist attractions that aren’t possible in the winter. Thanks for taking a frozen 4 hour bus ride just to appease my photo bucket list @ja9belfast, you’re the best😘. • • #instagood10k #keepitwild #wanderlust #keepexploring #neature #waterfall #chasingwaterfalls #waterfall #waterfallsfordays #lifeofadventure #seekthetrails #letsgosomewhere #amazingtravelbeauty #waterfalls #naturephoto #main_vision #landscape_captures #awesome_earthpix #natureaddict #rsa_rural #awesomeearth #nature_wizards #gottalove_a_ #allnatureshots #instanaturelover #earth_deluxe #niagarafallscanada #journeybehindthefalls #winterwonderland #niagarafallsontario

And her frigid heart Unleashes furry in flurries All the while Playing the victim Like she never hurt a thing But at her command Cities are buried In layers of cold And everyone is trapped With no way to go Anywhere

Les touristes venus admirer les fameuses chutes d'eau prennent en photo l'eau couverte de glace et comparent parfois le paysage à un palais de glace.
