Icicles or icespears?

In this odd and mysterious winter, there have been some very weird icicles. Around your area, what's the longest you've seen?

I saw one that was 8-9' long.

I'm not sure of the longest.

But if you've heard, and I think many did, of the ice storm that hit the Midwest (AKA Missouri, where I live) in December? EVERYTHING was covered in ice. I'm not kidding, either. I should have taken pictures. The trees were covered in ice, the cars, mail boxes, houses, doors. Everything. about a 1/4th inch of ice covered everything. Not snow, ice. we had some nasty looking icicles hanging from the porch I wanted to knock down, they looked dangerous, but I never did knock them down.

I'm always scared of one falling and getting stabbed, because that has happened to people before. Scary, isn't it?

I can look out the window next to me here at my neighbor's house which has some one and a half story long icicles coming down from the second story roof. There's one that's 16ft I'd guess. And outside the bathroom window, there's and icicle that goes to the ground, so that's 8ft.

But yeah, the icicles are cRAzy this year. Heh.

We've had an unusually warm winter, so i'd say about four inches. Oh dear, that's pitiful compared to what you all have seen. I wish we'd had a colder season, I feel like I really missed out on a lot.

Ha.

Its 90 degrees here. I love Carlifor-ni-a.

just rub it in. heh

*looks down* well, it depends on the environment.

Icicles? Lol.

Arizona + Icicles = something really, really wrong.

We got hail a few days ago though. [/rambling]

Got extremely cold here in Washington, DC (the Potomac even completely froze over!), so icicles were in great abundance. Alas, none of them were longer than six inches.
