Not too often do you see 25 to 27 foot waves forecasted in Lake Ontario (UPDATED W/PICS)

[Gill-T]

The ice boom broke on Erie. This means an earlier spring in Niagara County and potentially a faster dispersal of fish lakewide after the May flurry on the west end.

The boom has broken a few times in recent memory. I went over the skyway and was able to see ice as far as the eye can see.

Worth a trip to the falls to see all the ice going over....

If my cut and paste worked. Below is a link to the salmon country marina Facebook page (mexico ny). They have a video of the lake from Mexico point state park which is right next to the inlet.

I do not think the ice boom actually broke on the Niagara, just a buoy broke off.

 

The New York Power Authority issued a statement Sunday evening about the break of the boom.

"NYPA is actively monitoring the extreme weather situation in Niagara County and is responding to any operational issues as quickly as possible. NYPA had previously staged equipment to prepare for any necessary ice boom repairs and for any needed ice-breaking activity.

The ice boom is designed to submerge during high wind and high water events, allowing ice to overtop the boom. Current flooding is not due to the ice boom. This is a wind-driven event."
