Snow Rollers

[FitnessBrat]

How come I've never heard of such a thing?! Do any of you guys have these?

"In order for snow rollers to form, conditions have to be just right.
The ground must be covered with ice and then wet snow. It then takes a strong wind to create the rolled snow.
Snow rollers are more common in hilly areas, but the precise nature of the conditions required makes them a very rare phenomenon."

Actually, ive never heard of them either, but they just happened in my area. Just saw on the local news last night. Some guy had hundreds of them in his back yard. Really neat looking.
