    ICE-BLOCK PARTY

         • How's this for an icebreaker? It has been 14,000 years since the last glacier began its retreat from Michigan, leaving the five works of art collectively known as the Great Lakes in its wake.      Although the ice age is over, the region’s winter season provides just the right cold storage for other icy works of art. Call them a chip off the old (glacial) block.

    Ice sculptures abound at these metro-Detroit winter festivals:

    Plymouth Ice Festival, Plymouth (Jan. 20-22)

    Zehnder’s Snow Fest, Frankenmuth (Jan. 25–30)

    Fire & Ice Fest, Rochester (Jan. 27-29)

    Winter Blast, Detroit (Feb. 10-12)

    Wyandotte Ice Fest, Wyandotte (Feb. 16-17)

         If the idea of holding a chainsaw while clad in mittens and long johns leaves you cold, pick up a pair of Michigan-shaped ice-cube trays ($8.49, Hollywood Market, Troy; miicetrays.com).
