Icicles are no stranger to Texas following this week’s wacky weather but one TikTok video of an indoor ceiling fan that had developed the icy build-up is just bizarre. Austin resident Clifton Highfield shared the video on Tuesday showing a fan with four 6-foot-long icicles growing off it.
He tells Storyful the icicles formed because the blades of the fan were still spinning while the water and ice collected, thanks to centrifugal force. He also says it wasn’t a permanent situation and the icicles are likely to melt over time as the water in them becomes warmer.
Ceiling fans are great for cooling your home in summer when they’re set to spin counterclockwise and create a cool breeze, but did you know that they can also be used to warm your house in the winter? By changing the direction of your ceiling fan for winter (setting it to clockwise at a low speed) you can help disperse the warmer air that naturally collects near the ceiling and keep your room feeling warmer. This can save you money on heating costs.
To check if your ceiling fan is set up properly for winter, turn on the fan and stand under it. If you feel cool air blowing down on you that’s the setting you want for summer – but many fans have a switch to control which way they move, so you may already have this set up. It’s a good idea to do this every year as the weather changes, so that you don’t forget about this bill-saving trick.
