    Have you ever seen...a snow roller?

    I first thought that April had come early:



    ...and this was a variation on crop circles etc: snow rollers...near Marlborough.


    But no, apparently not: YouTube link...that includes pink snow!

    If not a snow roller, how about an ice shove...link (let the video run to 55 secs plus)?

    I was skiing in northern Minnesota near Lake Superior once when I had a near-fatal encounter with a "snow roller/groomer." I was schussing down one of the largest hills on a busy skiing day as I approached a bridge that went over a roadway. Just as I passed the last of the skiiers and started crossing the bridge in a crouch doing about 40mph, I look up and see a monstrosity like the one below coming at me on the bridge...except on the front was a giant five-foot high spiked steel roller! In a split second I skittered to the right of the thing and flew by, bouncing off the bridge's guard rail. My heart stopped for a couple moments and I realized someone was looking out for me! I really should have been dead...one of many times in my life.
