When the ice jam upstream broke and the normal flow of water resumed...well, how many of those people's bodies are still at the base of the falls, never to be recovered?

Maybe everyone stayed inside because it was sooooo cold!

That was the time I was thinking of.

Five of use drove up from Manhattan for the sole purpose of seeing Niagara Falls and the damned thing was closed! At least Horsehoe Falls was running.

By the time we got back I had consoled myself with the thought that what we saw was a lot rarer.
