What's the logic behind this? --
I'm in a semi-detached. I have about a foot of insulation in our loft by now. I'm willing to bet that my neighbour has 3" or 4" at best.
On the front of the houses (SOUTH facing) I have loads of icicles: neighbour has none. On the back of the houses (north facing) (yes I know you could have worked that out but I wanted to emphasise that the houses are *directly* on an east-west axis), he has LOADS of icicles, and I have virtually none.
I can't work out what's going on, icicle-forming-wise. The roofs, by the way, are respectively heavily covered (mine) and more lightly covered (his).
Cheers John
