Snow on roofs and a stronger sun result in daytime melting on clear days. Icicles then form overnight as the dripping water slowly freezes. Leaving work at the Capitol Square today, I saw a spectacular display of icicles in a back alley. They were all the way up the first fire escape staircase and dripping impressively, creating the beginnings of stalagmites on the parking lot below. Freeze thaw, freeze thaw, but eventually we will have thaw, thaw, thaw, thaw.
