BILLINGS, Mont. – A massive icicle fell through a Montana woman’s home recently.
KULR reported Carol Schell was having a normal evening at home, watching TV and doing laundry, when she heard a big crash.
After looking around and finding nothing, she brushed it off and starting putting away her laundry.
That’s when she realized the source of the mystery sound.
Schell said, "I, kind of, go in, and something drips on me, and I'm like, ew, and I look up, and here's this icicle hanging out of the closet."
Schell learned her furnace exhaust pipe had come loose after having her roof repaired in the summer.
The pipe was spraying steam, freezing just as fast as it was dripping from the trusses.
Schell said, "The big piece, when they brought that down, we were blown away. I mean, I just...that scared me, because had that come through, that would have been huge."
Schell said after this mishap, she recommended everyone get in the attic and check things out every once in a while, because they never know when it could happen to them.
Schell said, "Whoever thought it'd be lucky to have an ice cube fall through your ceiling? But I guess it's lucky in the fact (that) the other option could be, I could be sitting here in the summertime and have a whole house full of mold."
