How a Trickle Becomes an Ice Ridge
A thin stream of water flows down a cold inclined board and, before your eyes, turns into an ice ridge. At first, the water paves itself a straight icy path, as if reinforcing its own banks. Then the trickle starts to meander, and the ice quickly spreads sideways. Finally, the ridge stops growing outward and begins to thicken, smoothing out irregularities.
