Cold spell transforms waterfront surrounding historic local landmark

The extremely cold weather that recently hit the city may have been a nightmare for Torontonians, but boy did it ever result in some incredible photo opportunities.

Especially along the waterfront, where the shores and surrounding bays appear to be frozen in time.

But luckily you don’t have to travel too far to check out the incredible views, because the chilling temperatures have transformed Toronto’s historic RC Harris Water Treatment into an icy spectacle.

While this might seem like an unusual spot to snap some pics, you’ll actually find some incredible views of the frozen lake and surrounding areas, unlike anything you’ll find downtown.

And despite the recent cold snap, many Torontonians braved the freezing temperatures to check out the frozen views.

While their shots are picturesque, they will definitely make you feel cold just looking at them.

So in case you don’t feel like trekking out into the cold but want to see what all the fuss is about, check out these incredible photos of the icy RC Harris Water Treatment Plant below.
