Stunning images have been captured of homes along a Canadian waterfront community near Buffalo, New York, frozen solid after the winter storm that tore through the region earlier this week.
Photos emerging from the Crystal Beach area of Fort Erie show properties covered in ice after storm winds blew water ashore.
The two-story houses along Lake Erie were frozen from the ground to the ceilings.
“This is beautiful to look at. I have to say that,” a man named Don, who reportedly has lived in the area for 18 years, told CityNews. “Unfortunately, however, it deals a lot of damage.”

“The problem is that people are traveling to see them on roads that are still deep snowed and closed,” police said. “We have cars getting stuck and people walking on unsafe ice on the lake.”
