Weather Highlight
Rare snow rollers typically found only in Alaska and the Antarctic have recently been seen in parts of Colorado and Kansas. A snow roller is made when a large snowflake hits the ground, begins to roll, and collects other snowflakes. It continues to roll until the wind can no longer carry it, sometimes growing to sizes ranging from a golf ball to a 30-gallon drum.
