Mother Nature creates snow rolls
 
The snow rollers, some 2 feet high, were spotted near Craigmont, Idaho. A snow-covered icy field provided the perfect environment for a rare meteorological phenomenon known as snow rolls. The rolls are created during a snow storm by Mother Nature. The flurries fall on the icy field, making it impossible for the snow to stick. A small chunk of snow or debris is pushed along by the wind, and begins to build into a larger roll. [CRI]
