The Cold Snap Of February, 2015 In Video

There's nothing like a visual to show how cold it's been in much of the eastern part of the United States lately.

So, I bring you a couple of videos to demonstrate the situation.

First, let's go to Niagara Falls. Here's a great view of the falls heavily encased in ice during the frigid spell. This was filmed last Monday:



Speaking of rivers and water, here's a cool time lapse video taken over a couple of days late last week as record cold weather descended on the Midwest, including Ohio.

Here, we see ice forming on the Ohio River at Cincinnati, and, occasionally, barges trying to clear the ice out:


It's really hazardous when you're trying to shovel snow or otherwise deal with winter in these icy conditions. Some people fall and get hurt. Some slip and try valiantly not to fall over.

Watch this guy's hilarious and lengthy effort to stay on his feet after he stepped on a patch of ice while shoveling:
