This vehicle parked by Lake Erie is completely frozen

ABC News affiliate WKBW-TV showed a auto with a thin sheet of ice frozen over it near New York State Route 5.

After the image went viral, Bove and his team tracked down the owner, Yelen, who told WKBW that he left the auto by the lake overnight because he’d been drinking with friends and didn’t want to drive.

The station reported that despite the icy conditions, roads remained open.

Several inches of snow fell in the Buffalo region in the past 24 hours.

The area around Buffalo has been hit by severe cold weather in the past week, and snow showers are expected to continue in the coming days.

If you live near Lake Erie, don’t park so close to the lake, or else your auto could end up like one vehicle in Hamburg, N.Y.

Elsewhere, lake-effect snow advisories are in place for parts of western NY, northwestern Pennsylvania, northeastern OH and the Upper Peninsula of MI.
