🧊 Icicles on an Eave: Growth Rate, Water Supply Limit and Tate Drip Size

Front elevation of an eave with seven icicles growing from roof meltwater: convective and radiative heat loss set a constant growth rate until the water supply runs short, and what does not freeze falls as Tate drops. Same engine and four checks as the 3D page.
