In the winter, I turn on the water little by little to prevent water pipes from freezing.
The cold wave was so strong that an ice column was formed indoors while trying to prevent freezing.
This is a picture posted on an online community, and it looks like the water that was turned on to prevent freezing of the water supply froze and turned into icicles.
It is speculated that the water that fell drop by drop freezes from the bottom in very cold weather and accumulates.
Netizens who saw this left comments such as "The water should have been turned on so that it ripples, but if it falls drop by drop, it becomes like that" and "It looks like a stalagmite in a limestone cave."
On social media, several posts from bosses saying that the store is closed due to freezing due to a record-breaking cold wave have also been posted.
When the water meter is frozen, it is recommended to thaw the meter and its surroundings evenly with a warm wet towel.
Be aware that pouring hot water may damage the meter due to sudden temperature changes.
