The only one I have ever known since 1960 was 10 years ago round the
Nottingham area when we ago to find telephone wires down to 5 ft off the
floor with inch thick ice and lots of power lines down

I recall a similar event in the UK when large icicles were dropping like
spears from buildings and powerlines. Anyone know how frequently this
event occurs in the UK ?
