Speechless Sunday - Snow Ghosts are very real!

Snow Ghost

A quick explanation for these wonderfully unique anomalies...they tend to appear in the higher altitudes of some of our local ski resorts namely Big White Ski Resort and Silver Star.  Their name sake is for the eeiry and often beautiful shapes that they take over the course of a winter season.  The cool thing about them is no two ever look the same!

Very beautiful!  The snow looks so clean and fresh against the vivid blue sky.  This doesn't look anything like our big Alabama snow last week. :)

Now that is an awesone picture.  My sisters and I use to make snow caves, and pretend we were Eskimos. It use to snow really hard here in WV, we would go out around 11am and stay out most of the day.

Jason - Are there trees under that snow? Or is it just some freaky snow art thing?
