A
large 'snow roller' on a snow covered hillside near Wrightwood, CA on
March 23, 2019. These are sometimes called 'cinnamon rolls' or 'snow
doughnuts', and are caused by a clump of snow falling off a cliff or tree
into the snow pack below. If the conditions and temperature are just
right, as gravity gets a hold, it pulls the snow down, and it rolls back
on itself.
