Don't count on ice support. Several years ago some big 1000 ft towers in
Clayton NC were iced up. When the sun got on the towers and melted the ice
on one side, several of the towers collapsed.

Take a look at the 20 foot self-supporting figures. This must be some kind
of "magic length" as Rohn 45 with no ice will support 22 ft^2 and with 1/2"
of ice it will support 25 ft^2. The ice must be acting like a bracing
component? The 20' row appears to be the only height where the number "don't
make sense".
