A pendent, and usually conical, mass of ice, formed by freezing of dripping water; as, the icicles on the eaves of a house.
A projection from a solder joint, with a conical shape and a sharp point, which is not acceptable even though it does not make contact with another conductor. (Also referred to as a ‘peak’)
a pendent spear of ice formed by the freezing of dripping water
Ice in the shape of a narrow cone, hanging downward from a roof, fence, cliff, etc., in size ranging from a finger length to three feet in diameter and 25ft. Long.
Drip of glass with a loop at the end for hanging to catch light. 4-6" long. Became popular about 2001 Christmas from what I can tell. Internet search returns many vertical blown ornaments labeled icicles also. Online examples are often twisted flat glass.
Ice that forms in the shape of a narrow cone hanging point down. It usually forms when liquid water from a sheltered or heated source comes in contact with below-freezing air and freezes more or less rapidly as it flows.
Ice in the shape of a narrow cone, hanging point downward from a roof, fence, cliffside, etc. An icicle is formed when above-freezing water, for example, snowmelt or groundwater, runs or drips into subfreezing air. The water freezes as it drips or runs, forming a narrow cone pointed downward and growing in both length and width, widest at its top. Most icicles are found hanging from the edges of heated, snow-topped roofs, with any water that has not frozen in its downward traverse forming ice on the surfaces below.
hanging spike of clear ice formed by the freezing of dripping water.
An icicle is a spike of ice formed when water dripping or falling from another object freezes. Typically, icicles will form when ice or snow is melted by either sunlight or some other heat source (such as heat leaking from the interior of a heated building), and the resulting melted water runs off into an area where the ambient temperature is below the freezing point of water (zero degrees Celsius), causing the water to refreeze. Over time continued water runoff will cause the icicle to grow.
