Default Just a Heads Up
I am noticing some huge icicles forming on the eves of a lot of houses because of the new snow melting (theres a 6 footer overhanging my neighbors sidewalk), and I could hear them crashing down off of my house this afternoon. Just something to be aware of:

6 foot icicles to me means my Frostbite Blade.

Did you look at the G search?
The point is that the conditions we have right now are perfect...ie new snow melting off of roofs/eves forming icicles that overhang sidewalks... ie: be aware of ice hanging from your eves... It doesnt happen every day, but why enter that lottery?

A lot of those pictures are similar to what was hanging off buildings in Calgary today.

Probably wouldn't be saying this if you knew I just left my house and was looking up for 6 foot icicles and didn't see the ice on the ground, slipped, and cracked open my skull.

I don't know how anyone can have icicles hanging from their house. They're just so much fun to knock off.
