Ladys Human- sounds familiar! We had 5 1/2 foot icicles on our roof. I knocked one down and it was taller than me, and I am 5 feet tall. It was probably about 4 inches thick too and 10 inches around. We had 52 inches of snow on the ground and it didn't completely melt until after Easter in April. It was NUTS! We a snow pile so large in front of our cottage (from plowing the driveway), I would climb to the top then step onto the roof! Praying that will happen again some day soon!

When spring came, the lake at our cottage started to melt, and there were ICEBERGS in the river. Looked like we were in Antartica. It was INSANE! It was really cool to see. I have pictures, I will post them some time soon.
