Partially Frozen Niagara Falls


Niagara Falls frozen partially on Tuesday, 07 Jan 2014.The ice formed on the U.S. side of the falls  straddle the border between the United States and Canada. The frigid air and "polar vortex" affected about 240 million people in the United States and southern Canada.
A blast of Arctic air gripped the mid-section of the United States on Monday, 06 Jan 2014, bringing the coldest temperatures in two decades. Meteorologists said temperatures were dangerously cold and life-threatening in some places, with 0 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 18 Celsius) recorded in Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The icy images taken may look spectacular, but it also warns of unwarranted weather foes that are going to increase in the near future because of global warming.
