This icicle must've broken off the mailbox but was still precariously attached at the bottom, to a piece of snow.
Where it attached to the snow
This really fascinated me.
I'm very happy to report that almost all that snow is gone thanks to 2 days of temps in the low 50s and rain.
It did fascinate you JoJo. Good pix. At least it wasn't hanging off the eaves ready to fall on someone. Glad your snow is nearly gone. Most of ours has too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's gone too and none in the forecast.
DeleteOdd that it stuck there. Icicles can be dangerous. Do you have leaves in the rain gutter?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are leaves in the gutters. We rent though, and we haven't asked the landlord to have it cleaned out. So far it hasn't been a problem.
DeleteWow. That is like the sword of Damocles I love how blue the sky is after it snows. I miss that super crisp clean cold air.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely nice when the air is all washed clean, but I'd rather have the snow gone! And that icicle didn't last either..it was long gone by the time I went back out for the mail.
DeleteIt's like a dagger from some mythical story.
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
DeleteThat is really cool!!! (but you knew that!) ;)
ReplyDeleteIce cool, you might say. lol
DeleteI remember snapping icicles off from wherever, not thinking twice about how it came to be and sucking n' crunching on those all day. :) Now of course, it's disgusting to think about but I don't know. Maybe if it was the right icicle. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the icicles were much cleaner in those days. I did the same thing. They were never very thirst quenching though.
Deletebeautiful! we had a warm spell here late in the week so all the snow is gone. However, it has been snowing all afternoon, and so I assume it will begin to pile up again here. sigh
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad this melted fast. I'm not a fan of snow at all. I'm sure we'll get hit with a few more storms before spring.
DeleteHey JoJo,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are very ice. Icely done. Now then, before I make a complete ice of myself, I shall wish you a pleasant rest of your weekend, despite a certain football score that I wont mention....
Gary
HAHAHAHA Very clever!!! Yeah my Seahawks really crashed and burned yesterday. Oh well.
Deletebeautiful pictures of icicles ..
ReplyDeleteThanks Krishna!
Deletethese photos are beautiful! the lighting makes this icicle shine! I would have taken a lot of pics as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm following your blog. :)

Marie
Thanks Marie!!! I appreciate it!
DeleteWow - I'm fascinated too. Amazing photos.
ReplyDeleteTake care, and be warm and safe, my friend.
Thanks Robyn!
DeleteWOW! There is no words to express the beauty of the icy!
ReplyDeleteI love to shoot pics of ice.
DeleteGreat pics JoJo! Glad most is gone though. We are going to get an ice storm and not looking for to it. Hugs, LJ
ReplyDeleteThanks Lady Jane! Ice storms are the worst...way worse than just snow. I hope you guys don't lose power!!!
DeleteThat was amazing! It must've been from the same snow storm we had. Crazy. A blizzard and then gone two days later.
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy if it doesn't snow the rest of the month.
Deletehi Jojo, how are you? I had been so busy, that couldn't able to visit my blog.. hope your are fine.. like to see more interesting post from you.. XOXO
ReplyDeleteHi! I know...I need to update my blog. I've been so busy and tired lately. lol
DeleteI used to love seeing icicles hanging from leaky gutters when I was a kid. Don't see them any more.
ReplyDeleteThey're very pretty as long as they don't stick around too long!
