Thanks for the warning

In downtown Lansing, Michigan, there is a building whose unusual facade makes it more prone than most buildings to collect winter precipitation which will, at random moments, become dislodged and fall to earth.

The safety-conscious occupants of the building, concerned for the well-being of passersby, have, therefore, placed orange cones along the sidewalk in front of the building which are topped by small signs that read:

      WATCH FOR SNOW AND ICE
        FALLING FROM ABOVE

Apparently there is no danger of snow or ice jumping up from below or slamming into people from the side, which in itself is a relief.
