After seeing a giant icicle vanquished last week, Saskatoon has discovered its work may only be beginning.
Crews used sledgehammers and chainsaws to bring down a three-storey high behemoth on Friday.
Since then,Twitter users, including the CBC's tweeters, have been talking about other monster icicles and ice structures flowing out of tall buildings.
The Saskatoon fire department is warning people to stay away from the enormous blocks of ice, saying they could become dangerous when it starts melting.
A selection of the latest icicle photos is below:
