December 22, 2012 - German Ice
Ice formations hang on trees at the Unteres Odertal national park near Schwedt, Northeastern Germany, February 15, 2012. I found this at a weather station when I was looking up the local weather (which I almost never have to do). |

WTF? How did that form??
Is there some kind of metal disc around the tree (such as are used here to stop possums climbing them) that has had the near-freezing water condense on it, then trickle down to form the skirt? Or does some weirdo have a fetish for trees in ice tutus?

High, still water with freezing weather - followed by lower water levels and melting ?
