What a spect-icicle as snow and splashing cause strange formations
Above and below, strange
icicle formations on the road at Ashford
Freezing weather and motorists splashing through a puddle have
created this incredible ice formation in a hedgerow.
The freezing water has formed stunning ice formations dubbed
'road icicles' which look like a scene from a fantasy film.
James Hendricks, 34, spotted the spectacular hedge on Swan Lane
near his home in Ashford.
Network Rail worker James said: "It just caught my eye straight
away.
"It's amazing - it's a bit of a shame it's so dirty, but I've
still never seen anything like it before.
"It looks like something from Narnia, as if there's a secret
passage through it.
"It's brilliant - I've never seen road icicles before."
The ice has formed by spray from cars passing through a
semi-permanent puddle, caused by run-off from nearby fields.
