The Watchers by Julie Celestial on March 2, 2020
An intense lake effect snow raged across Upstate New York on February 28, 2020, leaving areas along Lake Erie entirely covered in ice-- in some areas up to 4 m (12 feet) thick. Residents described the conditions as surreal, remarking that it was the first time ice coatings had been that severe.
The population of Hamburg, which is situated on the edge of Lake Erie woke up to find their homes perfectly enclosed in thick ice.
"It looks fake, it looks unreal," said one resident named Ed Mis. "It's dark on the inside of my house. It can be a little eerie, a little frightening."
Mis has lived in the town for the past eight years, and while the neighborhood has experienced thick ice coatings before, he said this particular event was the first time it has been this extreme.
He added that his backyard was even worse at it was engulfed in 4 m (12 feet) of frozen water. "I actually had to go out a secondary door and then chisel my way back into the house by breaking the ice."
