The falling of icicles from structures during the winter. ''The doorways of many houses become dangerous during the winter because of stiricide.''

Nice to know there's a word for this. Having lived in Moscow for 12 years, I'm surprised I never witnessed it. Then again, on many of the taller buildings they do put fencing up out from the sides near the top, to catch the falling sheets of snow and icicles.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
