Chiefly for the Church Fathers of the Santa Fe Mother Church: Can one grow an icicle off the sunny side of a building if the air temperature is above freezing? Nick Nicholas S.

All a matter of perspective, but, basically, yes.

Nice question. Probably needs more information though to answer for
near some boundary conditions. http://www.igsoc.org:8080/journal/34/116/igs_journal_vol34_issue116_pg64-70.pdf "ABSTRACT : A theory of icicle growth is presented. ... A time-dependent computer model based on the theory shows that the growth of an icicle is a complicated process, which is very sensitive to the atmospheric conditions and water flux" I'm crossposting your query to some physics experts at http://www.physicstutordelhi.in to ask students as a test question On 11/18/15, Nick Thompson <[hidden email]> wrote: > Chiefly for the Church Fathers of the Santa Fe Mother Church: > > Can one grow an icicle off the sunny side of a building if the air > temperature is above freezing? > > Nick > > Nicholas S.

That is such a great article.
I loved the idea that a growing icicle is necessarily a hollow tube filled with water. Will change how I see them. N Nicholas S.
