Just to keep ourselves honest, the centripetal force doesn't actually toss the ice in fact the melted layer prevents a centripetal force from being applied so the ice is free to travel unaccellerated. I can't believe I'm starting this one again.



If you'd like some heavy icing, Canada's East coast is a good place. Also, in Ottawa is an artificial helicopter icing machine (not its official name). I think you mentioned you were there once already, Nick.
