Drip by drip
Icicles off the gutter
The day after the storm departed, the sun came out and warmed things up enough to engender a little bit of melting from the roof to the gutters. There, since said gutters were already blocks of ice, the water descended, drop by drop, and refroze into a collection of increasingly formidable icicles. I think they're reasonably well attached to the gutters, but I'm not taking any chances and give them wide berths. If the cold and melting continues, they'll eventually get long and heavy enough to be a health hazard, and then I'll have to remove them with the roof rake. For now, however, they're a crystalline delight, aglow in the sunshine. They can stay and grow.
