Check out these photos from 1911-








Now this is COLD!.....

This is the year my grandmother was born and my grandfather was all of all of 4 years old.

Thank God we have Global warming and don't have to deal with that.

It just can't get warm fast enough... I hate the cold!

LOL and yet there is a massive cold snap hitting the north/east again. If reports are true then theres a good chance it may get cold enough again for niagara to freeze.

Indeed. These things go in cycles & we're due for another Big Freeze. The last one I remember was in 1962 - 63 & that lasted for several months. There's still time for it to happen this winter.

I recall seeing photos of this before. A  search on Google is full of references to this latest batch of photos & whether they're genuine. Must be doing the rounds at the moment. This is what Snopes.com has to say about it. http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/niagarafalls.asp
The photos appear to be genuine but there is some doubt about the date & whether the Falls was totally frozen.

My Dad was 1 year old in 1911.

Got my off-road tyres on the bicycle just in case

That is COLD.

Supposed to hit -37F back home in Upper Michigan tonight according to my parents.  Mean while we're hitting record high's out here in the bay area, 70+  8-)

My mom was born in 1934 and my dad was born in 1932. My mom got married when she was 15 to get away from under a very strict father. She had me a year later, so it wasn't a shotgun wedding....lmao.
Funny part is, I was picking on my grandmother about my mom getting married so young. She laughed and said, "I was 14" Got married in 1925." All of their children grew up during the depression and WWII. They were all self reliant and tough!

[color=#003300]For the most part, the previous generations of my family were different than yours; they decided to try out adulthood a while before marrying and having their own children: closer to or in their thirties (my dad's life was quite more than half over when I was born). Even my youngest grandmother was born before 1900 but I met one of my great-grandmothers when she was 95 (more than 90 years older than I was).


As to the cold, the streams are currently freezing over but not stopped. It was -1

Its cold here for sure.  -27F with a windchill of -48F.  All the schools and some businesses are closing because its too dangerous to be out.
