miserableoldgit Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 1911 Photos of Niagara Falls ... Amazing pictures !!! Almost 100 years old. A woman's 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. Can you imagine walking on Niagara falls ???
Baj Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 you can't link images from your email, MOG, sorry mate, doesnt work like that
Baj Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 For those still interested, I've found a great page here detailing what MOG has talked about. http://www.hoax-slayer.com/frozen-niagara-photos.shtml
Saintandy666 Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 That is pretty impressive I have to say
Made in Southampton Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 And they say there's no global warming. You wouldn't see that happen now.
Saintandy666 Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 And they say there's no global warming. You wouldn't see that happen now. To be fair, this is probably quite a rare event, not really an indicator of the existance of global warming. Btw, I'm not a denier.
Kadeem Hardison Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 The river in Montreal (about 8 hours drive north) freezes every year and the locals skate to work.
Jillyanne Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 Quite strange and awesome and the same time.
swannymere Posted 25 November, 2009 Posted 25 November, 2009 I went to Niagara when i was a teenager and it is very weird how everything has this roaring background noise, there is also so much mist created that the sheets in the hotels are ever so slightly damp (and no, i didn't wet the bed!) We also had a friendly racoon outside our window which you could stroke if you fed it. Canada is like a clean, friendly slightly dull version of the states.
Al de Man Posted 26 November, 2009 Posted 26 November, 2009 Canada is like a clean, friendly slightly dull version of the states. I found it very "British" apart from the accents eh.
OttawaSaint Posted 26 November, 2009 Posted 26 November, 2009 The river in Montreal (about 8 hours drive north) freezes every year and the locals skate to work. ...and the canal here in Ottawa freezes to about 2 ft thick is then groomed by snowploughs/brushes and exists as the longest skating rink in the world.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 26 November, 2009 Posted 26 November, 2009 Had they just switched the falls off? No! They switched the heaters off, which prevent the falls from freezing!
mickn Posted 26 November, 2009 Posted 26 November, 2009 We went to Niagara last January and it was bloody freezing. The railings and trees were covered in the most fantastic looking ice formations, we went down in the tunnels behind the Falls and it was the coldest I've ever been. I would recommend anyone to go there in winter and it was really quiet, hardly anyone there.
jawillwill Posted 26 November, 2009 Posted 26 November, 2009 I can't see the pictures, but I'm assuming its about the time the whole country froze in a real freak event. Yet just about 50 miles or so over the border people were starving in a horrendous drought in Chad at temperatures over 50C. The African climate is really bizarre sometimes.
PaulSaint Posted 26 November, 2009 Posted 26 November, 2009 (edited) Are you confusing Niagara with Victoria ? :cool: Edited 26 November, 2009 by PaulSaint
PaulSaint Posted 26 November, 2009 Posted 26 November, 2009 I guess when the water goes stiff we should call it Viagra Falls?

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 26 November, 2009 Posted 26 November, 2009 To be fair, this is probably quite a rare event, not really an indicator of the existance of global warming. Btw, I'm not a denier. The falls were frozen when I visited them just before Easter 1971. They were illuminated and it was a beautiful sight.
jawillwill Posted 28 November, 2009 Posted 28 November, 2009 WTF? I know, I couldn't believe it either at first but the pictures are incredible!
