Not sure if this is a local (south Sheffield) curiosity, but my and
nearby neighbours' gutters are full of frozen thawed snow. Some have
large icicles as they've overflowed. This has happened in the past 24
hours. Just waiting for someone's gutter to collapse!

About 5 years ago this happened too with loads of Sky dishes getting hit by the gutters and needing replaced. I must have replaced at least a dozen.

Not just you, Apparently its happening in mine yesterday, but since mine are
pretty well secured and are plastic, no issues other than drips.
Some houses round here though have cast iron ones mounted on dodgy old
wood, so I'd expect sooner or later a bit of a problem. Indeed it was a
section dangling many years ago after a cold snap that made me get a man in
to replace them. Apparently the board the brackets were on was well rotted
or in some places got at by bird droppings and two of the gutter pieces had
nasty cracks in the cast iron which had it appeared at some time been
repaired using bitchumentn !

A fair weight of water in the gutters, I'd guess. But none down, yet,
that I can see. They're either wood or plastic round here.

Put a trug under one of the drippiest parts to catch some of the water
coming off the roof - emptied it twice this morning, over 10 gallons in
2 hours.

We've had icicles for days, decided to do somthing about the ones in
the carport dripping on the logs and the associated blocked gutter
today. The others can stay, they are just to big and solid to
remove.
