More study needed on formations in Russell Co. snow

By Dan Wilson

The snow picture I sent you yesterday have created quite a conversation. I've gotten additional emails and messages saying these is snow doughnuts and snow rollers, but reading how snow rollers and snow doughnuts are formed, what we sent you, does not meet the criteria for either. I am sending the pictures to the National Weather Service in Louisville to see what they say.

What's your thoughts on what it could be?

- Daniel

Daniel: Time was when any Adair Countian would have seen the photo, walked a few paces to our local varmintologist's - Dr. Billy Neat's - PVA office, asked for and would have gotten a straight forward answer, rendered with great certainty, whether the answer was right or not. Alas, since we lost the great man, it is not easy, though God knows and I know that he made every effort to pass his wisdom on to Bill Ballou and Ray Hutchison - and me - all extant examples of prehistoric life here. So we're waiting to hear from our betters at the National Weather Service or in Russell County itself for what the curiosities are. We're posting the photos, just in case someone is channeling Dr. Neat and can come up with something either the correct answer or a compellingly entertaining one. - ED
