Why do people have icicles on their ceiling fans?

Is this some sort of Texas room humidification trick that I need to learn about? On hot days you trickle water down your ceiling fan? lol

I’m guessing either the household water supply pipes have frozen and burst or an ice dam has formed on their roof.

I thought the same thing but it looks like an apartment building hallway that is open to the weather.

The pipes busted in the apartment above.....................

It’s called busted water pipes. Many of the homes have the pipes in the attic. Cheaper for the builder. Twenty years later when the big chill happens, he is long gone.

Hvac in the attic had a from the condensation overflow pipe stopped up with ice and broke, thus releasing the water down the fixture. I am dealing with exactly the same issue now. Our temperature that morning was minus 13 degrees, which is a 100 year low temp. Folks in the south are not prepared because this is a “Biblical” storm and might not be seen again in these parts in our lifetime. I do suggest though, that one not run the fan while it has water dripping from it.

Busted pipes in multi story apartments. Hell freezes over.
