BANTENG MERAH : Homes on Lake Erie were encased in ice as blizzard whipped frigid waves onshore

Lakefront homes in Ontario were encased in a thick, spiky coat of ice after last weekend’s blizzard whipped frigid waves on shore.

Residents of the Fort Erie community, coincidentally named Crystal Beach, said the waves were crashing over their Lake Erie break wall during the storm.

“Then the water has frozen up the backsides of the houses, so from the tops of the houses all the way down,” Derek Tupling told CNN news partner CTV. “So, you can just imagine the sheer volume and strength of water coming up over the wall to hit it and then freeze – flash freeze – immediately. It’s absolutely incredible.”

As those waves crashed onto the shore, the super-cooled water froze rapidly onto surfaces.

Tupling told CTV that the ice that accumulated on the Crystal Beach homes was at least a foot thick, and residents were concerned about damage due to the weight of the ice.

“We’ve been here for a long time and have never seen weather as bad as that over that period of time,” Tupling said. “The damage that’s been caused and the destruction on the backsides of these houses of where we are now is unbelievable.”

Temperatures in the Fort Erie area are expected to climb into the 40s on Thursday and the 50s on Friday – around 20 degrees above normal – which will lead to a massive thaw and pooling water.
