Niagara Dammed by Northeast Wind Across Falls

The Canadian channel is clogged, extending 200 feet beyond the third Sister Island, and reducing the falls to a narrow apex with diminished flow. This rare wind and ice effect, only the third since white settlement, followed events on March 29, 1848 and March 22, 1903.
