Lake Erie

Did you know there are legends of sea serpents living in the famous bodies of water in or near Western New York?

Lake Erie is barely covered in ice, which means a huge lake effect snow storm could happen later this winter.

With the big winter freeze coming, we got to wondering--with all that ice, how long would it take to Zamboni ALL of Lake Erie?

The Lake Erie Ice Boom prevents or reduces the amount of ice floating down the Niagara River to reduce ice blockages, flooding, damage to shoreline property and ice damage to the power plant intakes near Niagara Falls.

It's another sign that winter is almost here. The Ice Boom is going in!

A report was received today of a Kite Surfer in distress at Hamburg Beach and unfortunately did not survive.

I think its safe to say, we have all had those days where nothing seems to be going right, and the thought of just going back to bed crosses our mind. This may have been the case for one Buffalo man after a serious misfortune on Lake Erie...

This is the big one! Fishermen and women from around the country and Canada will take part in the annual Sunset Bay Walleye Shootout!
