It's Mother Nature's way of messing with your mind. Yes, old man winter is rolling up snowballs...all by himself. Snow rolls happen when the wind catches snow on sloping ground under the right conditions of temperature, humidity, and wind speed. Rolls can also be formed due to gravity if there is some disturbance such as snow falling off a tree.
