A Most unusual sight met my eyes this morning looking out of an upstairs window. Wet snow had slid down the roof overnight, like a lava flow or glacier, refreezing as it went, being blown in towards the walls by a south-easterly wind. The icicles that had originally been pointing down were now bent at a 45-degree angle, while more recently formed icicles dangle perpendicularly. I wonder how this will look tomorrow morning?
(Answer - below!)
All day today and indeed yesterday the temperature has been around zero degrees C. Snow has been falling, melting, refreezing. Unusual - neither thaw, nor proper winter.

They are best gently removed and used as 'branch water' for bourbon! (the real whiskey) Rescue them and pit in the freezer wrapped in plastic.
A great idea, Bob! 'Branch water' - very apt description. And indeed - best kept for bourbon, as the real whisky (no 'e') requires but a drop of still mineral water, certainly no ice :)
