Despite the article, I say it is without question RENDERED. The angles of the icicle formations on the trees suggests they were formed with a much higher wind speed and in a different direction than the icicles formed on the cars.

duh... maybe because the trees are taller and have nothing to shield it from the wind? 😛

The wind comes across the water, then hits the breakwall and is forced up towards the tops of the trees. You have a breeze that's coming across the trees but below will be much calmer.

Stand behind a car when it's windy, you'll find a spot that has almost still air.

My theory is that everyone that claimed the icicles are fake lives in California and only sees the ice floating in their drinks.

My theory is that you are an ignorant bastard.

and that i claimed rendered because the weight of the icicles should have weighted the cars down more.
