I've never seen them in person. Actually, I had never even heard of them. If the original source wasn't NOAA, then I might not have believed it. Fascinating.

The wind did that? WOW.
The "Rawhide" reference was hilarious.

I know, Kate. Isn't that amazing? I wonder what it would be like to see mother nature rolling up snow like that in person. I live in a serious snow state and I know it would freak me out a little.

There could be B movie script in this. ;)

I've seen them once. On an empty bean field. They were also on an adjacent pond (one of those ponds that get formed when they dig for an overpass; sorry, forgot the name). It was the last snow of winter about six or seven years ago. I came up over that hill, saw the rollers, and tried to figure out just how humans could have managed to do that overnight. Anyway, a bunch of other people saw them, including the photographer from the local paper, who researched the phenomenon and wrote an article for the next day's edition. I still think about them whenever I drive by there. It's something you never forget.

Fantastic. Never heard of them.

How cool is that?
Posted by: Mr. Bingley | May 22, 2009 at 06:30 AM
Marie-I'm envious that you have actually seen them in person.
Rob-I've lived thirty plus years in Minnesota and I had never heard of them either.
Mr. B.-Amazing isn't it? You learn something new every day.
