The Natural Phenomenon In Cleveland That Only Happens During Wintertime
It is common knowledge that water freezes once it becomes cold enough. Roads get slippery and icy as winter arrives, and puddles become frozen mirrors. However, freezing temperatures in Cleveland involve so much more than such familiar occurrences. Winter in Cleveland brings with it an otherworldly sort of beauty, and locals can’t get enough of it.
Days of wintry winds churned Lake Erie, forcing its waters to form dramatic waves. As the waves danced on the surface of the lake, they splashed and shaped a familiar lighthouse into an incredible ice sculpture.
This lighthouse, which is situated where the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie meet, has frozen in the presence of wintry winds since 2010. And it's not the only thing that has frozen and transformed into an extravagant ice sculpture...
As winds and unusual weather patterns continue to bring both rain and waves to Cleveland's frozen landscape, wintertime looks different each and every year.
These nature-made sculptures come in a variety of sizes, each mesmerizing in its own way.
April showers bring May flowers, but there's no reason to beware the ice of March! Such structures are, in their own way, just as lovely as floral blooms.
Winter in Greater Cleveland can be brutal, thanks largely to the wonders of lake effect snow. However, Lake Erie also gives us a winter wonderland of unrivaled beauty. Have you ever visited Cleveland’s frozen coast?
Love wintertime beauty? Just wait until you hike to these frozen waterfalls near Cleveland!
