    View out of our unpstairs window, the longest one on the right is about 3 foot long. It's started to thaw this afternoon and crashed down on the extension roof, I wouldn't want to be underneath one when they fell!

    Impressive! We don't have icicles, but plenty of houses around us do. Watch out for your extension roof - those icicles could do some damage!
