Waterfalls freeze, snow piles up in Canada

Waterfalls in the Canadian port city of Hamilton froze over as extreme weather hit the country and eastern parts of the U.S., leading to heavy snow, traffic jams and flight cancellations.

Social media footage showed Tiffany Falls and Sherman Falls in the province of Ontario had turned to ice.

Between 15 to 24 inches of snow fell in the region.

Traffic was snarled in Toronto, Canada's largest city, on Monday (January 17) as the snowstorm brought visibility to near zero, shut subway lines and left motorists stranded on local highways for hours.
