Default Pictures of Frozen Niagara Falls 98 Years Ago

Margaret writes:

Her mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year. She told the family

that she and her neighbours woke up in the night feeling something was wrong.

It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise. They had

all become so used to the roar of the falls that the silence was unusual enough

to alert their senses. Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the

falls. Amazing pictures! Almost 100 years old. Can you imagine walking on

Niagara falls?

1911 Photos of Niagara Falls..

you see sometimes global warming can cause local cooling.
Good thing we sunk all those oil tankers in ww2, and barely averted a complete catastrophe, without all that insulating oil on the bottom of the ocean, niagra falls would have frozen over permanently, and Algore would be president now.
Dodged a bullet there.

Was the heat forged frame of the Colt 1911 responsible for thawing Niagara falls???
