When did Niagara Falls freeze completely over?

Niagara Falls actually never froze over. They only had a moment where they shut off operations for 30 hours. These moments would usually happen because of “Ice Tsunamis.” And when these ice tsunamis would occur they would lead to patrons of the area to set up shops for gifts to be sold.

They had what they called “Ice Tsunami”s that would form and lay ice beds on the body of the water.

When these ice beds would form it would allow patrons to set up shop.
