We’re having a little fun here at the Weyerhaeuser Museum. Each year around this time, large icicles start growing from the roof in the north corners of the courtyard. They’ve grown so large in the past that they reach the ground.
The icicle in the northeast corner is growing so fast that it looks like it won’t take long to touch the ground. I was in this past Saturday with my camera to take pictures of it. They’re posted on our Facebook fan page. (We try to put different content on each of our social media applications so if you follow us all over we don’t bore you.)
When I was taking pics Saturday, I looked over at the northwest corner and saw an icicle that was starting to get sizable. I took a shot or two, but didn’t post them to Facebook because the icicle wasn’t that impressive.
When I got in to work this morning, I immediately checked the icicles. Our GINORMOUS one in the northeast corner continues to grow, now reaching down into the lower panel area of the museum building, beneath the windows. The icicle in the northwest corner is growing so fast that it’s become a rival to the first. I’d say it’s now within the impressive range.
I’ve taken pics of both today, which I’ll post to Facebook by tomorrow.
Will our icicles reach the ground before crashing to their demise? Any guess as to when they might fall?
Stay tuned ….
