A guy from Alabama did the pvc and rebar deal and it worked good. No ice over though. I personally think 8 inch is way overkill. 6 inch will take little more than 1/2 the concrete and still be plenty sturday enough. Drive down several rebars inside the pvc, and drill some horizontal holes and lay rebar thru them. Make the support a few inches higher than needed and give it time to settle.
I will try and find the pics of the concrete posts.
2 sizes of pvc sounds like a good idea. This will allow for more expansion-contraction.
