Niagara Falls freeze again as the temperature hits -12C in the area.

Many parts of U.S and Canada had been attacked by cold snap since November 2013.

Another record breaking cold front was set on January and managed to freeze the mighty falls in a polar vortex which turned the cascading water to ice.

And now the Niagara Falls freeze again for the second time in less than two months. 

And it is reported that there are no signs of the frigid cold releasing its icy grip from the country anytime soon.

I had visited the Niagara Falls when I was about three; there was no ice at that time but I remember the beautiful rainbows above the water.

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 🙂
