Looks like condensation collecting on the roof of the cap and running down and freezing. Those look a little better than the others posted. Must be pretty cold there?

Nahhhhh don't let em bully you Roo!

Had'em hanging off mine just like it two weeks ago. I will have again tomorrow since we are in mid-ice storm at this very moment.
I wanted to get the input from the group before i said much about it.
We just got a snow storm of 7" and high wind and tho normally with regular falling snow you dont see this but i thought i would post the pic.
THe snow and ice have been there for about 20 hours and its 20° today and now 9° with single temps tomorrow.
With the high efficient stoves of today and the correct chimney pipes , liners and such its still amazing that snow and ice can stay on the cap for that long .
One would think that with a chimney, the gases and heat (notice i didnt say smoke ;-) ) that it would be a non issue of snow and ice hanging off the cap.
For all those that are looking to get this winter storm (and future storms ) to keep an eye on your chimney cap for snow pack and ice. What i have is a very small amount but it did get me thinking as to a packed chimney cap from a snow storm and issue that "could" happen with the modern EPA stoves , chimneys and liners.
*** Just for the record when the chimney was cleaned out last year "once" at the end of the season i had just less than a cup of dry soot .
