When temperatures dip below freezing, we are used to certain things freezing. Our hair, windshield wipers, pipes, ponds, streams — these are all no match for Mother Nature in such extreme conditions.

However, the current cold snap North America is experiencing has led to a major exception to this rule. In other words, the mighty Niagara Falls has gotten a wintry makeover that makes the new eighth wonder of the world almost unrecognizable.
Most of the time, the spectacle is blanketed in a mist — created by the 3,160 tons of water that flow over the falls every second.
