I live in the part of Michigan that gets a shitload of lake effect snow.

Well, now the snow on the roof of our apt. building is melting, and there are icicles that are seriously more than 6 ft long.

The odd thing about icicles, is that they look so beautiful, but when they get to be taller than the average male, they're also deadly. On the news, a man was knocking down icicles from his roof. One fell on his head, and peirced his skull.

So, be careful:D
 
Can you safely knock 'em off so you don't get hit by a renegade icicle? :(
 
I'm sure there's a way Angel ... lol, but after seeing the pic on the news of that guy's stitches ... well, I'm not going to try to find out!!!
 
I know. Hang out the window. Throw snowballs and the icicles and then duck back in the window before the snowball hits the icicle. :D
 
Up untill this year my house has never had eavs troughs on it. so we would get 4-7 foot icicles, yes they hurt like hell if you get hit with them i've even been cut by them but hell if i'm gonna let one of the babies go outside if they are up there. I'd rather myself get hurt then them. But that guy on the news should have been takeing them down in peices, don't hit them from the top, hit the points with a large broom so it will catch all the points that fall. then wack them as hard as you can away from you and not towards the building. that's how I do it.

Celia don't get any ideas about your apartments icicles.
