  • this lake and ontario are both relatively shallow so total freeeze should not be a surprise but if Lake Superior freezes from Michigan to Ontario, that's FREEZE ! I used to live in the Upper Peninsula in Marquette County so the weather can change within half an hour from flat calm to roaring storm...

  • Actually, this lake isn't really frozen solid, but it sure looks that way from where I was standing. In fact, my buddy ice fishes on Lake Erie and catches all kinds of Steelhead.

  • only the south egde is frozen.not the whole lake.

  • Spoil sport! It certainly looks and sounds frozen solid.

  • When was this?

  • Late December or Jan a few years ago.

  • does water really freeze when it gets cold? amazing

  • @jaysend13 i live in buffalo to imagine how much more snow wed get if the lake didnt freeze over

  • @granskare ontario dosent freeze over only erie does

  • always thought it was cool how the waves freeze

  • i was never brave enough to go to the lake in winter, too cold. which is also why i moved to NC, impressive though

  • i live in ohio by lake erie and funiest thing happened last december my little cousin (4) threw his shoe at the ice and a whole chunk cracked lol

  • That's right!! According to Wikipedia, the last time it was 95% to 100% froze over was in the late 70's early 80's due to the severity of the cold.

  • So you know it's a bad thing if Lake Ontario ever freezes over solid. •Brrr•

  • Cool! My mom lives in Erie & is always telling me about the frozen dunes and that the lake actually freezes over. But, until I saw this video, I have never seen it either. Thanks for posting it!

  • I just did the exact same thing, but on the Canadian side....Rondeau, Ont...after the frozen waves, it was a sheet of glass...played a lil shinney and took a few vids....will post them soon....great vid!!!
