Although the temperature stayed below freezing, the sun was strong enough to cause some melting and some of the icicles grew in length before breaking off. The two foot icicles I saw today are tiny compared to the huge icicles by the ice caves on Lake Superior. If you look closely, you can spot a person dressed in black under the ice formations near the center of the photo so the icicles are a tad longer than two feet.
