Snow roller - nature's own snowball
- Published
It might look like someone has been out having fun but the "snow roller" is created naturally.
´óÏó´«Ã½ weather watcher Clanger sent in this picture, saying it was one of many in the fields in Glassford, South Lanarkshire.
"The wind blows chunks of snow along the ground, eventually forming a ball," explains ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scotland's chief weather forecaster Christopher Blanchett.
"It is nature's snowball," he says.
Meanwhile, data from the Met Office showed that Eskdalemuir in Dumfries and Galloway had the largest snowfall overnight, reaching a depth of 39cm (15in) at 11:00.
Drumalbin in South Lanarkshire had a depth of 26cm (10in) and Tulloch Bridge in Inverness-shire 24cm (9in)
