Yankee tumbleweeds

Well here it is before 9am and I've already learned about something new today:  snow rollers.  I'd never heard of such things.  Be honest now, had you heard of them before?


Course, I'm not too well versed on the phenomenon peculiar to the frozen north.  I did live for a year in Illinois when I was a toddler, but all I remember about it was the HOT babysitter who lived next door.  Never anything about snow rolls.


I saw this on TV this morning.  How cool is that?  The wind blows so hard it just rolls the snow up layer by layer.


The closest I've seen are rolls of hay, and they're not nearly as picturesque.


And tumbleweeds.  West Texas at it's finest!

That's all I have.  My mind has drawn a blank.  I'll try and find something to write about tomorrow that will leave you spellbound.  :)
