(Natural) Snow Sculptures

Snow is pretty amazing!


After a day of snow - and wind - I look out the window and see... snow "sculptures":

Massive chunks of snow suspended from the roof of our house.

In all our years here, I've never seen anything like it, Terry comments. The strength must come from the layers that have formed...

All around us, similar "ribbons" of snow can be seen hanging from neighboring houses. It's pretty amazing!

I wonder if the temperature and consistency of the snow need to be just right for these hangings to form...

There's so much about snow that I don't understand! (I wonder if snow scientists even understand all the details.)
