So chillingly Erie..
THE scene may look like something out of Narnia but locals who woke up to it found the morning anything but magical…
A perfect storm of sub-zero temperatures, gale-force winds and 16ft waves left homes on Hoover Beach in the town of Hamburg, New York State, completely iced over.
Some of the houses, on the banks of Lake Erie, were in total darkness because the covering was up to 3ft thick in places.
“Welcome to Narnia,” local John Kucko tweeted with an image.
And Ed Mis added: “I had to go out a secondary door then chisel my way back into the house.”
Temperatures continue to drop in the area – so residents will have to get used to putting plans on ice.
