Now How Did This Happen?

My dad pulled an ice cube tray out of the freezer last night and this is what he found: I asked him if something had dripped from above (like another tray) and he said no. Being the unbelieving person that I am, I got up and went to look at the freezer myself. Nope - nothing above that would have caused this to happen. This tray was sitting on a shelf about 5 inches high and above it, on another shelf, were 3 tubes of sausage. I stuck my hand in, waved it around, felt the bottom of the top shelf and - nope, nothing! No ice, no frost, no drips. I'm not a physicist, or an ice expert or anything. Just a simple housewife kind of woman. I wonder - how did this happen??They are at an angle because the shelf the tray sits on angles backwards, so if the shelf had been level, the ice would have gone straight up. I'm sure there's some some of explanation. :-)
