Logicnot your strong suit.

I submit that the rings of ice suggest that the piling (which appears light in color and was likely installed last season) remained buoyant, warmed the water around it during bright, sunlit, days, and floated up a few inches every day for a week. Darkness found it frozen-in again nightly—freezing a new "ice-collar" around it every night.

This happened several days in a row—which accounts for the multiple "ice collars" that have collected around the piling.

So, don't expect this piling to be vertical in April.
