A combination of high winds and frigid temperatures left New Yorker John Kucko’s house on Lake Ontario completely covered in ice. While people that live on or near the Great Lakes in the northeast are very aware of the impact high winds can have, this one house in western New York has become a huge hit on the Internet after a video and photos were posted on Facebook.
The 30-second video shows the lake shore home completely encapsulated in ice, making it look nearly apocalyptic, prompting some people to question if the video and photos were even real. On his Facebook page, Kucko says some people claimed the images were altered or that he used a foam spray to create the images, but he says they’re authentic.
