I saw a fire truck using their ladder and equipment to remove icicles from a house in East Boston the other day. I didn't know they provided this service, but I guess they do in potentially dangerous situations.

Looks worse than it is --no one's been able to walk anywhere near there for weeks.

Turn down the heat inside the station, and icicles won't form. Either that, or add another layer of glass to the roof to insulate it.

Southern exposure

There is a second reason that this happens - southern exposure. You can have a well-insulated surface (or a completely unheated structure) and still get these icicles.

My garden shed isn't heated, but has an icicle farm on the south face. That's because even the weaker winter sun will heat the snow up enough to melt it.

What you are looking at, in this picture, is the south-southwest face of the station.

Car got it in Beacon Hill

Saw a car that was parked next to the building at Irving and Cambridge being towed. Windshield and front passenger window smashed. Guessing it was an icicle from building that did the damage. I came by long after the damage was discovered.
