I just took this video & I can’t believe my eyes... this is what homes look like at Hoover Beach after yesterday’s winter storm. The ice covering these homes is estimated to be between 1 to 3 feet thick. Residents here have never seen it this bad before. #StormTeam2 #wnywx #nywx pic.twitter.com/jbAeZr8iSv

The winter storm brought a combination of cold temperatures, gale-force winds and 10- to 18-foot swells off the shoreline along Lake Erie, causing the houses to become covered in ice, WGRZ reported.

Homeowner Ed Mis told WGRZ he had never seen conditions so bad and is concerned about where the ice will go when it inevitably melts.
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
