| Comments: The patterns here were
created by natural processes in several stages. First there was
the build up of a deeper snow base. This, in turn, was followed
by a slow sleet that glazed that base. Finally, a ten inch
snow
fell
overnight and temperatures dropped into the teens, while 20 knot
winds blew the snow away from some areas and drifted it into
others. Bright sunlight the next day is reflected off the glazed
areas and the remaining snow creates the effect of ridges and
valleys and cliffs. These are as high and deep as your
imagination wishes them to be. |
