While on the theme of ice... Plummeting chunks of ice is an annual hazard for pedestrians in Russia during the spring when the sun finally melts thick layers of ice and snow which build up on roofs over months of freezing temperatures and darkness.Medical authorities in the region of Samara told ITAR-TASS that five people died in the city of Samara and another person died in the nearby town of Otradny between February 23 and February 25.

Hi, this is Butterfly13 as I cannot remeber my password, heheh...Oh, I remeber these from the Arctic World I come from. We used to suck on them when skiing and playing in the snow. They were like the healthy version of the modern iceblocks. Never heard anyone killed by them, but it is possible as some can be rather large. Just part and parcel living in the northen places with huge freeze and lot of snow. We'd target practice with them too and they were many hours of fun and keeping us also from dehydrating when out and about. Lovely, beautiful formations typical in winter in the snow countries.
thanks for your visit B13. haven't heard from you for a while. how's your blog going?
