Title: You'll see it only once in your life
Post by: Smithsonia on April 15, 2009, 06:23:28 PM
Ladies and Gentlemen;
See a weather phenomena from 2 weeks ago. I've never in my life heard or seen such a thing.
Apparently this is true as it is on the National Weather Service site. Give it time to load, it's worth
being amazed. I put this on the tall tales heading... because it is fantastic, yet true.

 HaHaHa!!! The gods are holding a "free for all" bowling event!!!!! That's a VERY odd thing to see!
Or, the latest shipment of toilet paper for the "Abominable Snowmen" (Yeti).

Too cool!  I've never heard of "snow rollers".  I'm glad he got a picture of it!

Looks kind of like "snow tumbleweeds"

Thats pretty cool. I'm guessing it doesn't snow there that much.

No, they get plenty of snow, about 50" a year.. A lot more than the average 0" per year around here...
