The effect is said to be caused by a mass of cold air, moving across the stretch of the lake with higher temperatures. The houses look like as if they are something out of a winter wonderland, covered with a thick sheet of snow. 'Lake- effect snow', near Lake Erie in New York, which is a natural phenomenon, has made the houses of that area resemble a scene out of 'Frozen' as if it is a 'snow castle'.

While the startling images online seem to be mystical, with people desiring to go the place to experience this winter wonderland, locals, however, have a contrasting view. As per reports, locals have to face hardships.

Some residents reportedly complained that the 3-foot-thick snow has left the indoors of their houses dark, as sunlight is unable to penetrate through. The residents are now worried about the structural damage this phenomenon can cause to their property, as the ice had started to melt by Friday.
