I was expecting to see big roller mounted on a tractor flattening the snow on the roads. What did you expect, from someone from California who has to travel over 50 miles just to see snow? Stan

Who knew? Snowman eggs. Or is that snow women?

It is not very cold if the snow sticks together in balls like that.

It's time to leave that neighborhood. Dam stuff is laying eggs. Must be a BIG storm building. How long does it take before they hatch???????

What in the Heck is in my yard?? I have about
50 in my frt yard most 8" diameter a few 20".
They look like little logs rolled up.

I've got them in front of my farm buildings,was wondering what they were.

FLOLDFORD · Jan 27, 2014

Never seen them here in central Florida nor do I want to!! Ya'll keep them we got enough problems. Course if you did send them down here they wouldn't last long seeing how it in the low 70's

Got them here in Auglaize county in Ohio as well. Not only in field but also on roof top. Think I saw them once before.

Chris Jones · Jan 27, 2014

That's what I was thinking too. They did use a large roller to pack the snow on roads back in the horse and buggy days and a bit even after cars and trucks replaced horses. I don't get much snow here in Greensboro, NC but one winter about 10 years ago it snowed deep enough the car bottom dragged in the snow and I couldn't make it out. With a gravel drive I didn't want to plow it. So I took the tractor and just used the tires to pack it driveway down. Worked fine.

I can tell you, the wind really whistled as the cold front came in.
Going to -5 tonite, colder tomorrow and -30 deg wind chill..
Sure do hope those are not "Snow Eggs"..!!
