Understand a Glacier by looking at this Ontario Carport roof ......

Photographer: Jim Bromley; Heather Renyck
Summary Author: Bryce Hand; Heather Renyck

The photo above showing an unusual slab of snow draped over a carport rooftop was snapped in Meaford, Ontario on December 11, 2010. In some ways, it's acting like a wet-base (temperate climate) glacier where basal slippage is facilitated by water at its freezing/melting point. Evidently, the water film was just thin enough so that roughness elements of the shingles kept the entire layer from quickly sliding off. Deformation of the slab involves a number of processes that probably wouldn't have been nearly as effective in keeping the layer intact if it was bent suddenly. Note that the shrubs appear to have stalled or at least slowed the slab's progress. Of course, the snow that forms glacial ice (firn) is very dense, perhaps four or five times more dense than the snow on this roof.

Sick Humour ...

From YouTube comments

When the TV programme of which this segment is the closing part was planned, Coope Boyes & Simpson were approached - due to their involvement with the revival of First World War songs on their albums, and their concerts at or near the battlefields of the Western Front - asking if they would like to contribute, as their work was felt exceptionally appropriate to complement the poetry. They kindly offered two recordings and the producers chose this one.
