That is a very cool thing indeed.

Unfortunately PA temps don't usually get cold enough for long enough to sustain such magnificence.

I did get to see such a thing form accidentally ... The water tower at the state hospital is across from my office. The tower sprung a bit of a leak.

State Hospital Security isn't really good about noticing things, including escaping patients. It was cool to watch and so nobody called them, I guess. Or perhaps it was a jurisdicitonal thing, since the Water Tower is on the farm property, and that's being overseen by the county ...

In any event, the cool pile of ice was about half the height of the tower before the weather got too warm.
