NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Rockaway Ferry, operated by NYC Ferry, was suspended Tuesday morning due to "heavy ice conditions leading to Rockaway landing."

Newscopter 7 flew over the area and it was easy to see why!

Jamaica Bay is caked in ice. The ice chunks are said to be at least three feet thick.

A channel had to be cut through the ice under the Cross Bay Bridge.

The bay seems to be frozen leading up to JFK International Airport as well.

A tugboat was dispatched to help break up the ice near the Marine Parkway Bridge.
