Take It To The Streets - Day 30

Spring Melt    

Droplets of Water  

- drip from melting icicles    

Cool overnight temperatures froze yesterday's melting snow into icicles on the eaves, and the afternoon sun is melting it, drop by drop. By late afternoon, all these icicles were gone.      

Take It To The Streets - Day 26

Icicle Wall   

Snow Melt from the Roof 

- freezes into icicles in the cold air   

A wall of icicles acts like a light catcher as it creates patterns of light and shadow against the side of the building. Signs of spring are around, but we're not out of winter yet. 

Take It To The Streets - Day 21

Icicles Melting  

Icicles Melting into Water Droplets

- in the Springtime Sunshine   

Today Spring started. Today we have equal periods of daylight and darkness, and the daytime temperatures are noticeably milder.  In the mid-afternoon sunshine, icicles which were formed by snow melting off the roofs of buildings, were themselves melting off the eaves. 

     

Take It To The Streets - Day 19

Snow Melting into Icicles  

It's still below freezing, but the snow is melting  

- and forming icicles   

The snow that has accumulated over the past little while is starting to melt in the heat from the daytime sun. But the air temperature is still below freezing, and so icicles form, as drops of melt-water run off parked cars and other surfaces that have absorbed heat in the sunshine.
