And Melodee reached out today in an e-mail that made my day! She and her husband also had what I now know is an ice spike. Paul and I left it to wonder....but David did a little research at the time to find why it happens. For many reasons....I chuckled out loud.
Sometimes there is a small hole on surface of a ice cube in the process of freezing. Since water expands as it freezes it oozes out of the hole and freezes quickly eventually building up to create a spike. How cool is that!
The information came from the following website if you want to read more about it. Thanks Melodee and David!
