minus-squaresiha@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-25 months agoThere isn’t a space where an icicle can grow, but you can’t reach it. If an icicle is inside a sliding window there is a high chance you can’t reach it. Tilting windows also (mostly) prevent the rain from being blown inside the room.
