Ed Mis tells me this is what his house looked like when he woke up this morning. He says some of the ice has completely frozen over the top of his neighbor’s house and he’s worried about what will happen when it all melts. @WGRZ pic.twitter.com/XVrEomdslq

A winter storm along the coast of Lake Erie left homes at Hoover Beach in Hamburg, New York, encased in ice up to three feet thick! Waves up to 18 feet high sprayed freezing water over the neighborhood.
Homeowners on South shore Drive woke to the ice completely covering their doors and windows. In some cases, their homes were dark because of how thick the ice was.
Ed Mis, resident and homeowner in Hoover Beach, says he's never seen conditions this bad before. The front of his home is completely covered in ice that is likely one to three feet thick.
"I actually had to go out a secondary door and then chisel my way back into the house by breaking the ice," he told 2 On Your Side's Karys Belger.
The ice brought down trees and power lines, too. Officials said they cannot estimate the amount of damage until the ice melts. Read more at WTHR. -via Boing Boing
