OT winter water project for next year
(We're all conversant with plumbing and water, we could make one of these next year....) Man turns on sprinklers to create a tower of ice By TIM MOWRY Fairbanks Daily News-Miner Published: March 7th, 2005 For a guy who doesn't like winter, John Reeves sure has a funny way of showing it. How else do you explain the nearly 150-foot-tall, prehistoric-looking tower of ice Reeves has grown -- and continues to grow -- next to the Steese Highway eight miles north of Fairbanks?... With nothing more than a well, a pump, some 1-inch copper pipe and a regular old Fairbanks winter, Reeves has created something that is absurdly Alaska.... Draped with thousands of icicles and several cauliflowers of ice protruding from its torso, the giant white stalagmite looks like something from the ice age. It was 141 feet tall Thursday and is still growing. It is about 70 feet wide at the base, and it narrows as it rises. The "Fox Icescraper," as some are calling it, is taller than any building in Fairbanks, though that will change in a month or two when it begins to melt.
