Back in the days before global warming, we had icicles that would grow from the second floor eaves down to the first floor roof to form columns up to six inches thick.

I once broke my glasses and had a cut on my eye from a red rider model 60 carbine BB rifle. I blamed it on an icicle and kept my carbine and none were the wiser.

Woah can someone say heat loss? LOL. Don't think it's normal to get that big of icicles. :eek:

I broke all the ones on one part of my house where the bathroom fan dumps moist hot air on the roof but this was how it was before. Not that impressive. The rest of the house has has none.

The ice on the siding is crazy though, is that house even insulated? lol. Looks like it's loosing lot of heat.

Wind plus sunshine will do exactly that. Ambient temp is well below freezing but sun melts roof, wind blows water onto siding where it quickly freezes.

Do you even know how an icicle forms?

I haven't been paying attention. Usually, icicles form on the dining room side of the house, above the coal stove. They generally go from roof level to ground level & eventually fuse into a couple of huge icicles of up to a foot diameter or more.

Regularly got 10-20 footers up in the UP while living there. So far just seen the kiddie sized icicles.
