Our local hill finds the snow rolling; literally.

Odin doesn't like being left out of a good run. 


 A couple of weeks ago we found ourselves in the midst of some wonderfully unique weather out our backyard.  As the blue sky clashed with dramatic and intense clouds, the heavy wet snow and gusty winds created some beautiful skiing. This is what we found:

Snow rollers were something we had not seen before.  With the wet snow and heavy winds the snow is pushed and rolled into what looked almost like delicious snow pastry, ranging in size from a softball to a large exercise ball. A unique day, to say the least.

With today's fresh snow in the mountains (we needed it), I hope you'll find your way outside today - I know I will, even if for a quick lap out the back.

  1. I noticed some of these (rather large ones) a field from the road a few days ago and could not figure out what they were. They are like snow tumbleweeds. Nature is pretty cool sometimes.
