\n\tThis house in upstate New York is completely encased in ice<\/span><\/strong><\/span>

\n\tThis house in upstate New York is completely encased in ice:- This house encased in snow and ice up to 7 inches thick may look fake, but photographer John Kucko assures his social media followers it’s anything but.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe beach home in Webster, New York, about 5 miles from Rochester, is located in a “very remote” area near the shoreline of Lake Ontario. In the spring and summer, it’s a weekend getaway; but when it comes to winter, it’s more of a hazard than anything else.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKucko said he frequently visits the spot to shoot sunsets year-round. But when he stopped by the secluded spot on Sunday, he couldn’t believe his eyes.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“We’re probably coming off a record warm month of February, and then this happens,” Kucko told CBS News. “The waves have just been incredible.”<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis house, unlike neighboring houses facing the lake, doesn’t have a retaining wall. Therefore, the freezing temperatures combined with water and wind coated the house in layers of ice.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“The wind chill was below zero,” Kucko described. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Kucko posted photos of the house, which looks like it could be part of a scene out of “Frozen,” on his Facebook page, he was slammed by critics, claiming the picture had to have been photoshopped.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHours later, Kucko posted a follow-up video to prove he did not, in any way, alter the photo.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Some parts look apocalyptic up there,” he wrote on his Facebook page, along with <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the past 5 days, the area has seen incessant winds with gusts up to 81 mph, Kucko said. And it looks like the cold weather is going to continue, as a blizzard prepares to hit the Northeast starting Monday.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe National Weather Service announced a blizzard watch for coastal regions including New York City and upstate New York. Up to a foot of snow or more is forecast for all of Western New York.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFor now, Kucko says the homeowners are steering clear of the igloo-like home. Maybe they’ll return when it warms up, he joked.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
