A row of homes that usually have a picturesque front-row seat to the beauty of Lake Erie transformed into a frozen plateau after withstanding hours of a relentless onslaught by the bomb cyclone-fed blizzard last weekend. The community of Crystal Beach, in the Ontario town of Fort Erie just across the water and border from Buffalo, found itself blasted by wind-blown spray off Lake Erie for hours as temperatures dipped into single digits, freezing all the water draped along the homes' lake-facing side. After the storm settled, several homes along the beachfront were coated from roof to floor in a solid sheet of ice several inches thick, with layers upon layers of massive icicles hanging from the openings. 📷 COLE BURSTON/AFP via Getty Images #forterie #forterieontario #ontario #ontariocanada #canada #winter #ice #blizzard
