I did not know that nature could make "snow donuts" until I read this story on the Northwest Cable News web site.  It seems that, if the conditions are just right, snow rolling down a slope will make a donut or wheel shape rather than an ever larger snowball.

I find the next to last sentence interesting: "The snow is deeper than previous years."

Why is that every time we have a warm spell in the winter, the media trumpets it as proof of global warming - but when the "snow is deeper than previous years" nobody cares?

Maybe Al Gore can do a documentary on it.
