REUTERS reported that the Niagara Falls partially froze on Tuesday, when the high temperature was a record low of minus 2 degrees.

The ice formed on the U.S. side of the falls, which straddle the border between the United States and Canada.

I visited the Niagara Falls in the autumn of 2006, I was 3 years old at the time and I was very excited to see lots of rainbows around the falls 🙂
