Cell tower following a snowfall.

via Reddit
These frightening and icy spears of ice are caused by strong winds that blow across open areas and strike structures such as fences, lighthouses, and this mobile phone tower. The ice tentacles are as beautiful as they are destructive, much like horizontal icicles. The structural stability of the building may be compromised by the weight of the ice, leading to considerable damage. It’s possible that this technician has been assigned the challenging and hazardous duty of scaling the cell phone tower in order to chip away some of the ice.
