Lake Erie homes covered in ice after being battered by gale force winds and waves. It was an eerie sight along the shores of Lake Erie in Hamburg, NY as many homes were left covered in a thick layer of ice as days of gale force winds, high waves and low temperatures combined to create this winter wonderland. The shores of Erie, Pennsylvania were also left covered in a glassy coat following the storm.

People living on the East Coast over Lake Erie in New York can’t believe what they’re going through. Over the weekend, their houses were ravaged by gale-force winds and 15-foot waves from the lake which encased the structures in 1-to-3 inch thick ice.





“It looks fake, it looks unreal,” local resident Ed Mis told CNN. “It’s dark on the inside of my house. It can be a little eerie, a little frightening.”





The man said that there was no ice in his yard on Thursday but by Friday morning, his home and others’ homes were completely covered.
