I was moving things behind my house, looking at the icycles coming down from the roof, when the idea struck me to take some down and put them in the snow in front of the house to create an ice sculpture, and people something to smile about in this stormy snowy time. I tried to "fuse" pieces together with a torch, and cold water, etc,. I ended up making a sort of "ice forest".I put a light behind it to show through the ice. The next time weather allows, I plan to add 5' columns (8" diameter) of ice in a sculputer around the forest. We got a lot of smiles!

I love it too! Especially having his children help. They remember the event. BTW, he needs to add insulation in the attic if he's "growing" ice sculpture this large... just sayin'...

I love the idea of taking something so simple (just frozen water), and something we all consider to be a nuisance, and doing something beautiful with it.
