"Ice-spear" in water bucket, photographed 10 January 2002. Ice-spears have been frequently illustrated and discussed in the pages of Weather magazine. They usually occur in still, very frosty nights, and appear to arise from the exudation of water through a pore in the ice, the water beneath expanding as it approaches freezing point.
