We study a modified Stefan problem (and its quasi-steady approximation) for crystalline motion in the plane. We are interested in the behaviour of solution for a symmetric problem, in particular we assume that the Wulff shape W is a regular polygon withN sides. We describe two situations. In the first one we show that ice will be melting. In the second one we examine the properties of V (t) for small t assuming that V (0) = 0, whereV is the velocity of the interfacial curve.
