thats the craziest thing i seen all day. every year we seem to have something similar to that happen in a hay field after the hay has been cut for a couple days, but never shaped quite as nice as those snow bales.
When we lived in Wyoming we had a big alfalfa field east of the house.
We got up one morning to find snowballs rolled up by the wind. It was eerie. They were shaped different than these, however.
I have NEVER seen them again and that was many moons ago.
Never seen any, but have heard of them. Why I have heard of em, I have no idea.....livin where I do LOL Can't remember who it was talkin about them.....
Cool pics. I've only seen this happen twice and neither time where the rolls as big as that, mayby 5 or 6 inches tall at the most. Must have been pretty windy there.
A friend of ours up in Alaska sent us the same pics a few days ago via email.
Under the right conditions we've gotten them a couple times....not shaped like round bales but shaped like balls and they can get pretty big depending on how hard the wind is and how deep the snow is.
I had them one year in the orchard. I would have blamed it on kids if there would have been tracks :lol: It was before many folks had computers so it took some time to figure it out.
The round bale style are very cool. We have had the snow ball type ones a few times. Kinda eerie to look out and see natures snowball making. The first ones I saw were before the Internet as well but that night on TV they had a report on some so information technology saved the day.
