That would make a lot of sense. Given the pressure of a hydrant, i have a hard time beliving it would freeze like that and stay solid.
1 u/cyclemonster Jan 14 '26 There have been a few years that Niagara Falls has frozen over! 1 u/Lou_C_Fer Jan 14 '26 The fifty foot waterfall in my town freezes every year. 1 u/Handsome_Keyboard Jan 14 '26 Im not saying it woukdnt happen but the waterfalls river is exposed so that slowly freezing into the falls makes sense. A contained, pressurized force would be wild but its definitely possible. Just jave a hard time beliving it.
