SNOWROLLERS - WHO KNEW!??

They say this type of event only happens once or twice  in a lifetime,  Well, we decided we would
take advantage of the opportunity,  so we, (Melva and I), jumped in the van and took the handy dandy
digital camera and went driving around taking pictures of the snowrollers.   We'd just found out the
previous evening what they were called.  We went to the North side of town first, because I had seen
quite a few of these funny snowballs, (snowrollers),  the night before in that area when I was coming
home from a meeting of our Amateur Radio Emergency Service Officers group.

We pretty well went all the way around Decatur... almost all the way around.. probably drove close
to 100 miles or so, but whose counting... we really enjoyed the day... took around 25 pictures, some
of which are just a slight different angle so they look close to the same..  the first (bigger) picture is
from North Taylor Avenue, out on the NorthWest side of Decatur.. just south and west of the Forsyth
mall.   We just wandered around from there, went out through the country out North of Forsyth and
over to Greenswitch Road on the East side of Decatur.  Not many snowrollers out in the fields!  Snow
had blown off the fields and into the yards or along the boulevards, which is where we found most!
;-)   Anyway... here are some of the pictures...   ENJOY!........;-)
