Last weekend there was a small ice storm. I guess it wasn’t that small since there was a fair amount of damage from the storm. Everything was covered with a thin layer of ice. In some cases there was enough ice to cause branches to break, or even entire trees to fall. Yesterday when I was out walking I took some pictures…

This is a tree that fell along Queen Victoria Park

Nice shot if ice on an evergreen tree

The ice looked great glistening in the sun

Another nice shot of the ice on the trees

Looking across Queen Victoria Park at the American Falls

A thin layer of ice covers this railing/divider

More ice covering small plants

Thick ice frozen as it dripped by the Fallsview Casino

These photos bring to mind such wonderful memories. My husband and I used to take our vacation during this time of the year for many years, summer not being our favorite time. We started many years ago when Karen and her brothers were young….a vivid memory of them running through the newly fallen snow at 10:00 one Saturday morning down by the railing at the Falls. We were the only ones there!!!!! Can you imagine…..we had the Falls all to ourselves!!!!
This is such a wonderful time of the year to vacation there….many people don’t realize that! When the sun shines on the ice and snow, it is simply breathtaking.
About 10 years ago, my husband had 3 Malaysian women visiting his place of employment, work related, and they wanted to do something special. It was the month of January…guess where we went!!!! Two of them had never seen snow!!!! We travelled through Buffalo’s fourth worst snowstorm ever on record but we made it!!! We had a wonderful time showing them both sides of the Falls that weekend.
