Houses Straight Out of Winter Wonderland!
Mar 03, 2020
A very mystical phenomenon near Lake Erie in New York made houses look like the set of Narnia. People were amused to see the effect of ‘lake-effect snow’ on their houses as the chilling wind swept across the lake causing every house to look like Elsa’s snow castle!
People compared these ice houses with the ones from the transcendent lands of Narnia.
WOW... Absolutely fantastic view of the ice houses in Hamburg, New York on the shores of Lake #Erie this morning 29th February! Photos taken by ???? https://t.co/eyUuDc7RTJ #severeweather #photooftheday pic.twitter.com/ow0GFCHAVb

Welcome to Narnia: Two days of gale force winds along Lake Erie have iced over many of the homes along the beach in Hamburg, NY. @news4buffalo @News_8 @EricSnitilWx @JamesGilbertWX @wnywxguy @spann @JimCantore @StephanieAbrams @StormHour @NatalieKucko pic.twitter.com/uMvIdVWMGz

While it is a beautiful sight for the eyes, the locals were not really thrilled to see their homes in this shape.
This blanket of ice covering their entire house comes with the risk of damaged roofs and other structural parts.
19 Days Until Spring: Until then—-well, you know. This along Lake Erie near Buffalo (Hamburg) may take until May to melt. @news4buffalo @News_8 @spann @JimCantore @StephanieAbrams @wxbywilliams @StormHour @TomNiziol @GarofaloWX @Ginger_Zee #DigitalFirst #NexstarNation pic.twitter.com/EsvTl0ofxq

One of the residents complained that he had to break into his own house through the sheets of ice.
Here are some more pictures of the houses wrapped under the heavy sheets of ice.
Which house did you find the most fascinating?
