Wow, that’s really amazing. I’ve never seen or heard of those. Nature can do some pretty unexpected things.

I first saw pictures of these in Nat’l Geographic’s World (do they even publish that anymore? I used to *love* that magazine when I was a kid!) We get them from time to time in Wyoming – but the conditions need to be just right -a little damp, warm and windy.

Please no pictures of snow! It just now warm enough here (Michigan) to go outside without a jacket.

These show up often in Nebraska.
As kids we used to roll a bunch close to together and make SUPER AWESOME snow roller forts.

I think you’re right Dustin… according to most sites, they only get about 2 feet tall at the biggest. The perspective on the second pic is probably what makes it look so large (even the blades of grass in front of it look enormous!).

I have a picture of one of these somewhere, that I took in Champaign, IL a few years ago. The couple that I saw were pretty small, though – it at least looks like these are bigger.
