SNOW ROLLERS

If you were one of the many who took a double take at the strange snow phenomenon in the yards of The Cottages in January, you saw something rare and fun.  We called them many things – snow tubes, snow balls, snow holes, but he official name is “snow rollers.”  It has been over a decade since our area has seen these because just the right conditions must be present for Mother Nature to create them.  A combination of wet snow, strong wind, and just the right temperatures is required to roll the snow into these spectacular hollow cylinders.  If you missed them, here are some photos to share.
