Webster homes made into ice palaces
- Entire row of lake homes on Oklahoma Beach in Webster have been covered in a thick layer of ice.
It's not just a house, but just about an entire row of Lake Ontario homes covered in a thick layer of ice.
Several residences on Oklahoma Beach in Webster have been turned into ice palaces after frigid temperatures and gusting winds pushed crashing waves over a breakwall and onto everything nearby.
Also on display:
- Large balls of ice on the lawn.
- Sheets of ice over walls, windows, picnic tables, lawn furniture, windows and doors.
- A vehicle covered in ice about 40 feet away from the shoreline.

Rochester windstorm: Monday updates
Northeast bracing for a 'ferocious' snowstorm
Many homes had back doors untouched by the ice, although windows and other entrances were sealed shut.
The ice formation increased after last week's windstorm, which brought 80 mph winds and knocked out power to nearly 100,000 Rochester Gas and Electric Corp. customers in Monroe County.
Homeowners at Oklahoma Beach had their power restored Saturday.
But that likely won't be enough to melt the ice, with a powerful storm promising to bring as many as 22 inches of snow and freezing temperatures in the area through Wednesday.
Temperatures aren't expected to peak above 32 degrees until Friday.
