Snow Rollers

Spring is the perfect time to spot snow rollers. They’re a meteorological event that can happen when conditions are just right—strong wind and a particular texture of light, not too sticky, snow. This trio of rollers had the added advantage of slope to get them on their way.

In the background is a partial 22 degree halo. The bright spot at the top of it is a faint upper tangent arc.

Last week, I thought spring had arrived—garlic is up, along with alliums and tulips and bird wars over prime nesting spots have begun—but she was just kidding. Have a wonderful adventure-filled week. I’m off to shovel the evening’s dump of snow.

  1. This is not only a prime photo but it contains yet more fascination – rolypoly hay bales made of snow – plus now I have words to describe some of nature’s gifts. I can’t get enough of what you see and discover.
