Re: Niagara in February

Not sure. I would imagine that Jan and Feb are colder than Dec. Depends on the year. We were kinda lucky bcz we got there on a day when there was no snowfall. The day we left, it had started to snow again.

Re: Niagara in February

Found this...

*The tremendous volume of water never stops flowing, However, the falling
water and mist create ice formations along the banks of the falls and river.
This can result in mounds of ice as thick as fifty feet. If the Winter is cold for
long enough, the ice will completely stretch across the river and form what
is known as the "ice bridge". This ice bridge can extend for several miles
down river until it reaches the area known as the lower rapids.

*Until 1912,visitors were allowed to actually walk out on the ice bridge and

view the Falls from below. February 24th of 1888 the local newspaper
reported that at least 20,000 people watched or tobogganed on the ice.
Shanties selling liquor, photographs and curiosities abounded. On February
4th 1912 the ice bridge broke up and three tourists lives were lost. *

There can also be a great deal of "mini-icebergs" which flow down the

Niagara River from frozen Lake Erie. The flow of ice has been reduced

considerably by the yearly installation of the "ice-boom" on Lake Erie. The

ice-boom is a long floating chain (2miles- 3.2 KM) of steel floats strung across

the Niagara River from Buffalo New York to Fort Erie Ontario.
It is set in place during the month of December and removed during the

month of March or April. It is maintained by the New York State Power

Authority. The ice boom helps prevent the ice from clogging the river and most
importantly the hydroelectric companies water intakes. *

Re: Niagara in February

Oh and if anyone wants to get married at the falls, there are some special rules and requirements, I came across while searching for the winter pics.
