That perennial artist, Jack Frost, hadn't been heard of around Niagara Falls and the East Coast for some time, but he blew into town to stage one of his more spectacular one-man shows. From Maine to Carolina they know that Indian Summer is over. These are days of sneezes and sniffles, anti freeze and fuel bills. A very scenic look at Niagara Fall in the mist of a very cold winter. A family standing at a look out site enjoying the view. Ice incrusted trees, looking very whimsical. People walking on a park path enjoying the intoxicating sights of winter. A picturesque site, a frozen lagoon with surrounding trees and shrubbery. A Weeping Willow incrusted with ice. Trees that have been distorted by the ice that engulfed them. Camera panning the telephone lines that has been incrusted with the ice. The electric company out in full force attending to the broken wires making sure that all the people have their electric on. A telephone man high on the telephone utility pole making sure people have the use of their telephones. Camera man faces his camera to on coming traffic. Ice covered evergreens.
