Dear all:
I think we are wowing a forwarded (many times over) �set of
pictures...
seems it has been making rounds... original postor �may have
absconded...
first, after the initial wow, I thought could this be a hoax?
ANS: do not know...
Second: �Could these icicles �be man made?
ANS... yes could be...
similar to the scenario in FLORIA and Georgia...
where citrus is grown... if in december the forecast is for below
freezing to freezing temperature in the nite... then farmers are
advised ( and they do it ) to sprinkle enough water on the trees so
that the water would freeze around (completely ) the oranges and that
frozen water at 0 degrees C would act as a thermal blanket of sorts...
and protect the fruits and trees from the merciless below freezing
temperatures...
something like that may have happened here...
BUT I /we �must not get taken in by forwarded and re-forwarded
messages from now on...

==========
my question to Marrianne: do you know the people who forwarded these
to you, are they hoaxters or reliable folks?
or do they know who sent these to them in the first place?
