Holy Snow Rollers!

I couldn’t resist on that blog post title.

A rare natural phenomenon which makes it look like wheels of snow have been rolled on their own has been captured in photos.

Six rare “snow rollers” were spotted by Brian Bayliss in Wiltshire.

He said he spotted them in a field he owns and at first thought they had been manmade but there were no footprints.

It is thought the bales are formed when wind conditions are ideal to blow chunks of snow along, picking up more snow along the way.

Forestry worker Mr Bayliss, 51, said he had “never seen anything like it before” and when he got closer he “could see the sun through the middle, and they just made no sense”.

He captured the images shortly after sunrise on Saturday.

BBC weatherman Ian Fergusson said it was “very rare” that conditions were so perfect that snow rollers could be formed.
