HAMBURG, New York: A New York restaurant on the shores of Lake Erie reopened after a lake-effect snowstorm covered the business in an “ice castle coating.”
Hoak’s Lakeshore Restaurant in Hamburg, New York, a Buffalo suburb, closed on Sunday amid a travel ban during a major winter storm.
Areas of western New York saw more than 2 feet of snow, including 41.3 inches in Hamburg.
Winds and snow covered the business on the northeastern shores of Lake Erie with massive icicles and a thick coating of ice accretion.
The restaurant wrote on Instagram it remained closed on Sunday after “getting a small dose of an ice castle coating.” A photo showed ice covering the business’s railings and foot-long icicles dropping from the roof.
On Monday, the full ice castle transformation was complete with icicles from nearly every building surface. In a video shared by Richard Hulburd on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said he felt like he “walked into the movie ‘Frozen.’”
