Just seen this article:

On the evening of March 31st, 2009, Tim Tevebaugh was driving home from work east of Craigmont in the southern Idaho Panhandle. Across the rolling hay fields, Tim saw a very usual phenonmena. The snow rollers that he took pictures of are extremely rare because of the unique combination of snow, wind, temperature and moisture needed to create them. They form with light but sticky snow and strong (but not too strong) winds. These snow rollers formed during the day as they weren't present in the morning on Tim's drive to work.

 

 

 

 

I can't decide whether it's a hoax and clever Photoshoppery or not. Have sent a link to Phil who's a demon retoucher for his verdict.

 

Very pretty though.

They look like those smart little curls of butter you get in posh restaurants & Christians house!

They look like hay rolls

[The Dogmother]

Those two ideas crossed my mind too!

[Egluntyne]

Fascinating! I thought they looked like white chocolate.

 

And in manageable portions too.

I must admit that the photos look too good to be true but you never know

Snow rollers or snow doughnuts are real phenomena

lol looks cool but reading the Wiki article unlikely in that size and definition , shame!

[feemcg]

I just googled it and seems right enough......loads of similar pics, not just in USA but Estonia etc. too.

[bluekarin]

Thats really cool! We had one occur on our car windscreen and it was sitting on the wiperblade. I'll post a pic up later.

[Blackrocksrock]

I too am dubious due to the date of the sighting!!

I think the phenomenon is true enough, but those photos look enhanced to me

I am impressed that you noticed that. I would have probably just flicked it off!
