Climate Change DispatchAmerican photographer Jonathan Nimerfroh was walking along the beach in Nantucket, in Massachusetts when he suddenly saw the ocean beginning to freeze.
He took several pictures of a number of semi-frozen waves as they crashed against the coast.
Mr Nimerfroh said: “When I got to the top off the dunes I saw that about 300 yards out from the shoreline that the ocean was starting to freeze.
“The high temperature that day was around 19F (-7C).
“The wind was howling from the south-west, which would typically make rough or choppy conditions not good for surfing, but since the surface of the sea was frozen, the wind did not change the shape.”
US WBZ-TV chief meteorologist said: “It looks like a big Slurpee rolling ashore.”
Its not the first time this year near frozen waves have been seen, earlier this week Niagara Falls was pictured turning into a ‘frozen waterfall’
Meanwhile other waves were spotted frozen at Nova Scotia’s Martinique Beach Provincial Park on Valentine’s Day, turning the beach into icy dunes.

I’m done with CA, Mephisto. Left almost 2 weeks ago.
Rainy & colder here in OR, but my sanity is returning.
