Icy water from Lake Erie creates unusual ‘car-icicle’

Reporter Matt Bove shared an incredible image of a vehicle that was frozen solid after being covered with a thick layer of ice near New York State Route 5.

A auto completely encased in ice was found part near Lake Erie in NY on January 11, 2016.

Lake effect snow will persist throughout the week and could be heavy at times in Buffalo.

It’s safe to say the driver is going to need more than an ice scraper to get back behind the wheel.

Bové later said during his bulletin: “I don’t even know if pictures do it justice of just how insane this image is”.

The station reported that despite the icy conditions, roads remained open. There is a lake effect snow warning for Southern Erie, Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties from 7pm Sunday through 7pm Monday.

The freakish event came as the area was hit with several inches of snow in the past 24 hours – forcing the closure of several schools.
