lol thats nothing
when I was in Wisp mountain in Maryland (I dont know the name of the actual town) they had icicles that went from teh roof all the way to the ground (a tall roof too) and it was at least a foot thick. That was the biggest I saw, but there were plenty of others you could play around with, like 4 foot few inch thick ones always fun

Well, There has been an icicle hanging from my roof that has been there since November. It's about 4 feet long and grows every time it snows. Right now it is about 6 or 7 inches in diameter at the thickest. I would take a pic but I don't have a digicam.

Pics latter.. my mom took the digital camera with her all day today..

It goes from the top of our house, to where it is stoped by a rock on the ground. (Only a one story building..but you can imagine how tall that is) 6 feet, at least.. (rock is a few feet tall)

My grandparents house gets them from the roof to the ground (about 7 feet). I wanted to try to get one loose, but it wouldn't break!!! Now it was personal.... I went and got a sledge hammer, and yes it did eventually break -- right in the middle. Then the top half fell, pulling the face board that it(and about a dozen other shorter icicles) were hanging from crashing to the ground.

I did what every other 12 year old who had just damaged the house would have done. I dried and put back the hammer and acted surprised when told about the damage. I think grandpa was suspicious, but I never got in trouble for it.

Now I live where few people Have ever seen an icicle.

When I was in Oregon 20 years ago, we drove up the Gorge on the north side of the river, to the Dalles.

Where the cliffs would slightly overhang the road, huge 5-10 foot thick icicles would be hanging down 15-20-30 feet down off the rocks where small springs dribbled out of the cracks. I used to have a bunch of pics, but lost them a long time ago
