Sleet and Snow Fairies: Water Cycle

Large fluffy snowflakes glided from the sky and cascaded to form banks of thick velvety snow inches deep, coating tree branches and cushioning rocks, transforming fir trees into white ladies. Then the sun rose, and the air warmed, and the snow turned to hard pellets of sleet that struck through the branches, sticking to everything. The snow melted and hardened. Ice melted, thawed, froze again, melted, dripped. Shapes rose from the branches, growing into twisted piles of ice and sleet, stalagmites rising from the forest. A sequence of drips gave them arms and pointy heads. A cardinal tilted his head and watched with interest as freezing raindrops blobbed out round shapes as if they were little tree snowmen.

Story potential: High enough. Medium high.
Notes: Turns out they're a bunch of horrible pervs. Imagine all the places water goes as part of its life cycle. Things like a bathtub, can get gross with that, esp. if drain problems so they just hung out in the bathroom watching for a couple of days.
