a spring hailstorm, and three inches of rain in just over a half hour in West Texas. It's been a good four years. We were long overdue.

Kinda looks like it does around here, only more green! We got an inch of snow yesterday, of course, that's no too uncommon way up here in the North...

I've seen them back when we used to live in Idaho. We had a lot steeper ground there and the snow was wetter. Up here in Northern Montana, the snow is generally very dry and fine (it's usually like -20F when it's snowing), then the wind usually blows at 30+MPH so the snow just blows around and makes big drifts everywhere...

Very interesting. I've never seen anything like that before. Rather reminds me of snow covered round hay bales.

Snow Rollers would be a good band name and those pictures would make a great album cover.

And sometimes, they turn out even weirder:
I've actually seen ones like this too...
