great pics... I was at the falls in 2006 in February and they weren't froze over. However there was so much moisture in the air it would freeze to your coat within minutes. My girlfriend and I had a 1-2cm thick coat of ice covering our whole bodies (minus our faces) within 20 minutes of walking around near the falls. It was interesting to see peopling chipping away at there clothes as they would come in off the viewing walking way and into the building to warm up and grab some food. Here's a pic.... you can see that under her arm is dry, but everywhere else is covered in (what looks like just water, but is) ice. http://lobrien006.googlepages.com/home

The server is also from 1911. And it's frozen too!

Damn, thats impressive. Really impressive.

Fake.

Although my Great Grandmother who passed in the 70's would tell my father of how as a child in the late 1800's she would visit the falls. At that time there was no fence around it and anyone was free to wander throughout the entire area... If you have been to the falls in the last 10 years you should know just how much that has changed.

iceman , damn you!!

hope the website will be back soon.
couldnt wait to see it...

so glad this one isn't ruined by gaudy type.

childhood instincts return....ICE SLIDE!!!

the Falls are worth seeing once in your lifetime, but none of us will ever see them frozen again :(

i live about 30 minutes from the falls and visit it once and a while... it's a beautiful site especially at night with the multicoloured lights.

very cool!

the Falls don't freeze, the SURFACE water does.

Source: Me. I live 30 minutes outside Niagara Falls, Ontario.

More than 6 million cubic feet of water flows over the falls every MINUTE(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls); it's impossible for that to freeze.

If this were to happen today, it would somehow be offered as proof of Global Warming by its followers.

I blame global warming.

I was at Niagra falls about a month ago. It was utterly beautiful, especially for someone from Australia who almost never sees snow.
For anyone who's interested here's some pics I took showing the falls frozen over.

Petition text:
We, the undersigned, call on the Governments of the world to use some common sense when distributing Energy subsidies.

Why must the taxpayer subsidise the largest cause of man-made Global Warming(Fossil Fuel electricity generation) whilst alternative energy solutions such as Solar Thermal are forced to struggle?

Why must the consumer be asked to pay extra for "Green" Energy when his/her taxes are subsidising the very antithesis?

We, the undersigned, are not impressed with such hypocrisy.
