Ice Fishing Cut Short by Snowstorm in Upstate New York

Three ice fishermen called it a day on March 1 when harsh weather swept across Irondequoit Bay in Monroe County, New York, footage shows.

Video by Joseph Frascati shows the men leaving the area as strong winds and snow reduce visibility around the Lake Ontario bay.

“Ice fishing had an early end due to the harsh weather. Walking back to the vehicle was a challenge for these three men, Frascati wrote on Twitter.

By March 2, a hazardous weather outlook was in place for several parts of western New York, including Monroe County, due to expected wind gusts of up to 45 mph. Credit: Joseph Frascati via Storyful
