The first picture - thats now one complete icicle from the gutter to our front door - its about 4 feet long.
The third pic is next door - they take their lives in their hands coming out of the door!
Yep, same here, the longest one is nearly five foot now.:)
Impressive shots.
Wow. Not seen icicles like that since I lived in Scotland
Scary. Once I noticed through the window how big mine had got, I checked whether there were any above the doors ! :eek:
There are many beautiful icicles in the New Forest. I guess snow on branches has melted, then has frozen again just as it dripped down.
I'm sending out 'my explorer' today to get a pic of a group near us. They blend together like a frozen waterfall! (Will post it later if he gets a good one!;))
Other places we can see them near hear are where people have dripping overflows, and don't seem to worry about leaving them like that! This one is just across the road!
They've even started forming on plants here.:) This one is completely inundated. The second photo is a house down the road from me, although it was taken a couple of days ago.
I've got a stunning cascade on my Rosemary. It's directly under the roof that gets the sun, so it's been collecting :) I really should try and get a full-on shot but it means going outside and clearing a load of snow and then kneeling down... I just couldn't be bothered :)
Oh yes, that first one, the Rosemaryfall is impressive.:)
More impressive ones from around Scotland
BBC News - In pictures: Icicles
Oh yes, there are some rather special ones there.:)
Fantastic! I wanted to get to the town centre park to see if there was anything on the fountain there.. but have had so much problem walking I never managed to get there :)
Well here's a unique one I saw today.:) I call it a Skycicle.:)
....lol :)
Great shots, Louise and Rolf!
So an icicle on a bicycle would be called what then, Rolf?;)
That would be an icycle Catherine.;)
In our local paper there's a report of a man taking all his icicles down, then standing them upside down in his garden with lights trained on them :)
