It also appeared that activities and services were still as available as they were in the Summer time, but I’d imagine as the season continues towards the colder months, the services and amenities slow down a bit. Winter
We haven’t visited Niagara Falls during the Winter time, but we can imagine how it could be frigidly cold as this part of the Great Lakes region would be prone to Arctic Winters. Historically, temperatures are said to range from highs of 60 degrees F (16 degrees C) to lows of -10 degrees F (-23 degrees C). This was a sign talking about how the Honeymoon Bridge collapsed in 1938 due to an ice bridge that formed in the river and took the bridge with it as it scraped its way downstream
Anecdotally, I’ve seen NFL football games where the Buffalo Bills would be playing in snow (Buffalo being around 30 minutes drive south of Niagara Falls), and that kind of indicated what the falls might be like that time of year. On one of the sign boards we saw at Niagara Falls, the Niagara River could be frozen enough to form ice bridges that would obliterate bridges (including the Honeymoon Bridge) or any other riverfront infrastructure in the way (much like how glaciers could scrape through anything in its path). However, an ice boom had since been created further upstream to limit the size of the ice chunks and thus allow the river to flow freely towards the Atlantic. That gave us a further appreciation of how cold it could get in these parts. The weather would also be even more variable at this time of year, but historically, sunny (but very cold) days could also occur. Naturally, this was the slow season at Niagara Falls.
