It was in the 20’s last night here in SC, and when I got to work I noticed this “icicle” on the stairway to my office.
It looks like the support was full of water (it rained Saturday), and it got pushed out as the water froze & expanded.

Cool, eh?
Freaky!
That is pretty cool. I got some pictures of a cool icicle when I was on my retreat, it was a very wet snow and it basically slid off the roof, had come down by about a foot or more at the tip with several icicles sticking off the end.
Hm. No funky icicles, but I do have a picture somewhere of a donut-shaped hailstone that fell in our back yard.
labtrash, that looks like ribbon candy!
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
No, no, no… an icicle comes down from the ceiling, remember? And an igicle comes up from the ground.
This one formed on a handrail, so it’s an ihicle.
Nice pics, LT.
I didn’t shoot this photo, but I do have this very cool picture hanging in my office. It’s a signed print by Brad Dawber with a very detailed description typed on the back that reads…
For more freaky icicles, there’s the artistry of Andrew Goldsworthy.
Last winter there were interesting pictures published of Snow Donuts.
Now I’m picturing living icicles, slowly creeping up the sides of everyone’s houses / buildings…
That is seriously awesome. thumps up to labtrash 
They are out for blood - and this time it’s seasonal. Red Ice. Coming soon to an eave near YOU.
IIRC there’s been stories of snow doughnuts/snow balls “snowballing” into gigantic dimensions after being pushed down a long steep hill.
