dont want to be hit by one of those
Mary MacADNski: It would not be a good idea to walk under them.
Seriously big. During the very cold spell here we had icicles almost this big
Mary MacADNski: I've never seen anything like it. I took lots of shots.
I bet everyone gave these a wide berth Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Yes! Many were removed - carefully.
Good lord! Bit of raspberry syrup and a ladder and you'd have an ice pop.
Mary MacADNski: What an idea. Bits of tar from the roof would look like sprinkles.

Jeez, look at those! It's an awesome sight.
Mary MacADNski: They were huge this year. I took lots of shots of different buildings.
Its a pity they can't be preserved and re-titled modern take on global worming! Or something like that.
Mary MacADNski: They could be preserved in freezers. The icicles were unbelievable this year.
Stunning.. what a magnificent sight...love the song xxx
Mary MacADNski: I love the song too!! The icicles are really amazing this year.
Wow - they look lethal Mary!!
Mary MacADNski: They certainly could be. Amazing though.

Wow, no regulations to hang the washing from the window? Excellent, I likey
Mary MacADNski: Thanks for the likey, Louis. You wouldn't believe the icicles this year. They fell off or melted this weekend with temps of zero.
I wonder if it is the Island climate that would produce them in such a grand size, Mary, as I haven't seen them this big since I was a kid.
Mary MacADNski: It was a thaw freeze cycle for a few days that produced a fabulous/terrible crop.
Those icicles look like stringy cheese, only more dangerous smile

They contrast nicely with the lacy curtains.
Mary MacADNski: They are certainly more dangerous than cheese though there was a battle won with cheese many years ago.
Quite amazing ang impressive Mary!
Mary MacADNski: There were many impressive ones.

Mary MacADNski: It's cold enough to snow - over and over.
