Nope, we weren't attempting to create winter lawn bowling with snowballs. This phenomenon can sometimes occur when we get a deep snowfall in cool temperatures, followed by a rise in temperature to just above freezing, accompanied by a strong warm wind. As you might imagine, these conditions do not occur with much regularity. The last time I remember seeing this happen, I was probably around 13 or 14 and it happened at night. It was also much larger in scale. So we woke up the next day to fields of snow covered in snowballs ranging from around baseball size up to perhaps volleyball size, all with a long trail marking their creation. I wish I had a picture from back then, but these were taken just a couple of days ago.
Pretty cool, huh?

That is so cool! Usually if I see something like that there's a mouse in the middle that my dog was playing with.
Lol.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this!
You're quite welcome!
Huh! We've seen that too. Ours are generally rolling down hill but maybe it is the wind that gets them started before gravity takes over. We get a lot of wind. And gravity. :)
cool : )
How have you been? Hope all goes well.
