MOSCOW (Reuters)
Five Muscovites had to go to hospital with
injuries from falling icicles Thursday in what
may have been
a record for this winter.
This year's changeable weather, varying from minus 30 degrees
Celsius (minus 22 Fahrenheit) to well above freezing, has seen
alternate rounds of snow and thaw, and some of the icicles
hanging from the roofs can be fearsome spears of ice five feet
(1.5
meters) long.
Municipal workers generally try to limit the problem by banging
drainpipes to dislodge the icicles or cordoning off pavements in
danger zones.
Interfax news agency said the
tally of five injured in one day
was the highest this season, but officials at the Moscow
Committee for Health were unable to confirm this Friday.
Don't sweat the petty stuff, but always pet the sweaty stuff.
