Brrr! Your landscape looks like it did a few days ago here; granted, we are in western NY...!
I am seriously fearing the climate future in this country and on this earth..

Thankee thankee, Jo and everyone! :D Not sure about the sideways 'cicles...I figured they formed normally and then the branch holding them up just bent over...but it didn't look like any of the branches were drooping that deeply. Definitely an fascinating effect!

Icicles form from frozen water. The snow in the air begins to melt when it touches the tree branches which are warmer than the surounding air. Then, when the wind blows from the side the water re-freezes sideways. It is really cool!!!
