Why did Niagara Falls run dry in 1848?
On the night of March 29, 1848, both sides of Niagara Falls inexplicably ran dry: Apparently an ice jam had formed on Lake Erie, which blocked the water that normally flowed along the Niagara River and over the falls. This "drought" lasted for 30 hours, until the weather and the winds "uncorked" the ice.

How far is Niagara Falls Ontario Canada to Montreal Canada?
It takes, give or take, about 10 hours to drive from one to the other, including stops for gas.
However, with the new Queen Elizabeth Bridge being built over Lake Champlain, it might take awhile to get into Montreal, so I'd count on a couple hours of stop and go traffic if you chose to take the bridge into the city. Because of the congestion on the bridge, other routes to the city may be heavily used by people avoiding the bridge.
What Route do you have to take to get from Winnipeg to Niagara Falls?
- Take TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY 1 EAST to Ontario where the TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY continues as HIGHWAY 17. Continue on (TRANS-CANADA) HIGHWAY 17 EAST to Sudbury where you will EXIT onto HIGHWAY 69 and RR (Regional Road) 46 to TORONTO and SUDBURY. Turn right off the exit ramp onto HIGHWAY 69 SOUTH to TORONTO.
- HIGHWAY 69 becomes an expressway when it becomes HIGHWAY 400. Continue on HIGHWAY 400 SOUTH.
- Take HIGHWAY 400 SOUTH to HIGHWAY 407 ETR (Express Toll Road) at EXIT 26. You want to take HIGHWAY 407 ETR WEST. NOTE: the ETR will cost you an arm and a leg [$16.43 for light vehicles (5,000 kg and under) during off-peak times (Weekdays 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., Weekdays 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and Weekends & Holidays - All Day) and $18.32 for light vehicles during peak periods (Weekdays 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. and Weekdays 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.)] but I can assure you it IS well-worth it. Trust me I REALLY ACTUALLY know. Or, you can also take HIGHWAY 401 WEST (EXIT 21 off HIGHWAY 400) to QEW towards NIAGARA via HIGHWAY 403. These routes tend to be a lot busier, however.
