HOW DO ICICLES FORM? AND WHY DO THEY PERPLEX PHYSICISTS?
A weather station near the pier registered temperatures in the 20s early Saturday morning with wind gusts of 35 mph, making for frigid, turbulent seas.
Nathan Voytovick told Storyful that "arctic air and large waves [were] a good combination" as water and spray along the pier froze to form icicles wherever you looked.
