Rare self-rolling snowballs have been discovered in Somerset, a report claims.
The giant snowrollers, also known as snow bales and snow doughnuts, are formed by a combination of strong winds and fresh, moist snow. They are normally found on the prairies of North America, however, Ron Trevett, 55, and his wife Aileen, 54, discovered the phenomenon in a field close to their home in Yeovil.
Mr Trevett told The Daily Telegraph: "We saw them from a distance on the ridge of the field, and we thought some kids had been playing up there and making giant snowballs.
"But when we got up there we saw there were no footprints and there were hundreds of them – too many for children to have done it. We realised it must have been the wind."
Liz Bentley, of the Royal Meteorological Society, said that with strong winds and more snow predicted in the UK over the coming days, more of the giant balls could appear.
It's not April 1st yet is it?
