And you may ask, "Just what is this 'Micro-Glacier' thing?"Well, we're glad you asked. Let me explain this strange phenomenon. Note in the picture to the right, the roof line. That strip of ice hanging down there is our very own Micro-Glacier.
It seems that our new tin roof is just the thing for this. Apparently, after the snow and ice have accumulated up there, they begin that slow slide to the edge.
Here's a closer look from the inside, the tunnel, if you will. If you look close*, you may even see the indentations of the "V's" from the tin. The fuzz was amazed at how far down this glacier would hang without breaking off. This sort of thing does make using the door a bit interesting.
And lastly, here's a pix taken the next morning from inside. Notice how far our glacier is hanging down in front of the window.
Eventually, it did break off, but if was kinda cool while it lasted. Well, it's sleeting outside again. Maybe we can start on a new one.
*As always, you can click on the pix for a closer look!
