Spring is now only a few short weeks away and the restless wind is carving out all sorts of anomalous figures in the softening snow around my house. Those of you living in northern (especially windy) regions may recognize the mysterious sculptures I've captured in these photos. I'm wondering if my southern friends will venture a guess as to how they were formed.
**********
This arctic anomaly always reminds me of those amazing mud-daubed towers built by crawfish, crayfish, or crawdads (pick your label) down south. These towers were created by creatures too, but with very little effort and a lot of input from the elements.
Maybe this will solve the mystery without too many unpleasant details.

How funny! I'd not expected to see an Italian influence in the Arctic. Your own mini Leaning Towers of Peesa!
{sorry, couldn't resist!!}
Regarding Laurie...there's no stopping her, you realize.
Regarding the snow...no more snow angels for me!
Somehow, Laurie, the resemblance completely escaped me! I'm afraid that these are "landmarks" of a very different kind. :)
Hey, Steve. I can't say I blame you about the snow angels...probably a wise decision. Beneath all that beautiful pristine snow there may lie secrets better left undisclosed! LOL!
Thanks for saying hello!
Laurie, I do have to give you a hand for that very creative play on words...it took me a minute to catch it!!! It's late...I'd like to believe that I'd have caught on sooner if I was fresh (hey, I can dream, right?) LOL!
It's yellow, I suppose one shouldn't eat it.
LOL! Good observation, Clare! It kind of gives the term Slush Puppy new meaning, huh? :) Pup-cicle might also apply, but I think Laurie's Tower of Peesa is still the best! Thanks for stopping by!
well, that is too funny, never thought about that!!! My stars!!!
Yep, it's definitely an arctic anomaly of the purest kind! :)
