Falling icicles can be a real problem

If you don’t live somewhere where the winter temperatures get really cold, you probably don’t know about the problems that icicles can cause in the winter.

Where we live, the climate is really cold most of the year.

During the winters, the temperatures get down below zero and stay there for weeks on end. The snow falls sideways sometimes, and the wind howls like crazy around here. One of the craziest things about the winters here is the size of the icicles that show up on the eaves of our porch and our garage. Some of them are so big that they almost reach the ground! While they are beautiful, the fact remains that icicles can cause a lot of problems for some people. Us, for instance! Last year, we had some huge icicles hanging off the back of the garage because we forgot to clean out the gutters before the winter hit and the weather started cooling down. Anyway, this huge icicle fell off the garage and landed right on top of our outside air conditioning unit. I barely ever even think about that part of the A/C system, since it’s always out of sight back there behind the garage. We didn’t even realize that the air conditioning system had been damaged until well into the spring when the weather started heating up around here. When the A/C refused to turn on the first time we tried it, that’s when we realized the problem that we were having! Our icicle had completely ruined the A/C unit.
