Listen "Ep. 14 - Vases and Candles and Spikes! Oh My!"
Episode Synopsis
This week Steve leads the discussion on "ice spikes." This is a rare winter
phenomenon that Bill and Steve stumbled across at Stiglmeier Park
(Cheektowaga, NY) during January, 2016. Join the guys as they run through
two (presumably) incorrect hypotheses on how ice spikes form, and one
well-documented method for their formation within freezers. We also explore
the conditions that increase the chance of ice spikes forming in natural
areas. While the episode mainly focuses on the "spike" form, "vase,"
"candle," and "tower" forms are also possible.
