The ice looks like some kind of foam insulation flapping in the breeze. Posted by Kennerado 3/19/2005 7:54 AM | remove   Very cool Posted by Chronic 3/26/2005 11:21 PM | remove   Towers are designed with "Radial Ice" parameters. For instance, central Canada designs usually use 1" whereas on the east coast in Newfoundland, it could be 3 to 4". Posted by Ex3cutor 4/17/2005 4:05 AM | remove   It's really a "cool" pic ;) Posted by IIVQ 5/1/2005 2:16 PM | remove   Weird though it does form on the antennas but not on the tower itself... Posted by Chronic 5/4/2005 3:07 AM | remove   It will form on aluminum elements before steel members. Posted by IIVQ 5/7/2005 11:11 AM | remove   why? Posted by GreyDeath 5/7/2005 6:20 PM | remove   My guess is that it doesn't retain heat as well as Steel does so it's more susceptible to temperature changes, thus making it freeze faster. Posted by TurboZutek 5/29/2005 7:57 PM | remove   Steel has a higher specific heat than Allu alloy. Posted by IIVQ 7/31/2005 11:58 AM | remove   TZ: that comment of yours is bs and has nothing to do with this, iirc. Posted by atomx 7/31/2005 4:19 PM | remove   Not necessarily so. As specific heat goes, the sun if it can get to the steel can heat up the steel faster than the aluminium and therefor shed the ice faster. Posted by Logan 11/2/2005 7:39 PM | remove   that is cool Posted by seany 11/3/2005 3:23 AM | remove   quite literally If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
