Icicles are dangerous. Some dangers include falling icicles, if they are heavy enough they will snap and fall quickly up to 80-90 miles per hour and can hit with the force of a 1000 pounds.

In winter you get brown icicles on your house?

Brown icicles on your house during winter can be caused by a combination of melting snow and dirt or debris that collects on the roof. As snow melts due to warmer temperatures or sunlight, the water can pick up this dirt and flow over the edges, forming icicles. Additionally, factors like insufficient insulation and ventilation can contribute to ice dam formation, leading to more melting and icicle formation. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and ensuring proper insulation, can help prevent these brown icicles.


Can icicles grow?

Icicles cannot grow in the sense that they are living. As water runs down to the tip of the icicle it freezes which makes the icicle appear to grow. It gets longer as more water runs down it and freezes. If there is no water to run down the icicle, even though it is below freezing it will actually shrink. Ice evaporates but at a slower rate than warmer water. Leave some ice cubes in your freezer and over time you will notice them shrink. It takes a while though.
