In some parts of the country, large icicles are considered dangerous:

Large parts of the town's shopping centre were cordoned off and main bus routes were closed as crews worked methodically throughout the day to remove sword-sharp ice shards from shops and homes.
Firefighters visited sites all over Perth to assess those that posed the greatest risk, with the safety of shoppers a priority. ... "

And from inside looking out - we'd snapped off the ones on the right but they've regrown. We have stalacmites on the floor...

[Angel]

WOW Leanne, I would say that your icicles were longer than ours...

Angel...

[essexbird]

I had a long one - but alas - it melted before I could measure it (oo)

[Leanne]

Noooooo!!! It had got even longer - almost touching the floor and my OH has just cleared them all off before I could get a picture :( Big job though so shouldn't grumble :)

size isn't everything
