Anyone looking out from the two back windows sees only a wavy wall of ice.

The icicles aren’t so big, but the iceberg they’re growing from is cause for alarm.

Roundabout art, apparently. As near as I can tell, someone filled a tire-shaped floatie with water, froze it, eviscerated it, then stacked it on frozen buckets of water.

HistoryOn a different walk (one without a camera), I saw a house where they smashed a seven-footer off and jammed it in the snow outside their entrance as a spike. Do it right and you could build a whole fortress that way. As I remember, Ashland has some pretty respectable-sized ones too…
