HOLY CARP!!!

I see these 3 or 4 times a year but this is the first time I took pics. What are these? How do they grow? Have you ever had them? Seen them? Clearly they are spikes of ice that grow out of the ice cubes. We do not have an automatic ice cube maker so we have to fill our tray at the sink. How can water grow up into the air out of an ice cube? Freaky! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Simple. Water expands as it freezes. Cubes freeze from the outside in. In this case, a small part of the top part of the cube allowed for some of the water inside to get squeezed out as freezing happened. That stuff froze too, in the form of a stalagmite. That looks like the right proportion of water that would get squeezed out. EDIT W00t the 1nterw3bs and I are in compliance!!!11111111111111 |

What kind of spots are we talking about here? The two things that come to my mind are nude sun bathing or extra-curricular activities involving Mrs. D'Oh, both of which are probably TMI. |
