Snow stories: rare sell rolling snow balls found in UK

This is an article from The Telegraph. Apparently on some plains in the UK, if the wind conditions are right, there is just enough ice, and the snow is perfectly moist, giant snowballs will self form and roll around the fields. There are two pictures at the top of the article that I find fascinating. They are not really snowballs, but rather snow cylinders.

We've been getting plenty of snow in Rochester, but no self-rolling snowballs. That would be something to write home about!

After RIT swept Sacred Heart in men's hockey, I drove down to Staunton for the week. Other than visiting with friends and family, there is really nothing interesting to report. It was a very nice visit.

Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, two friends and I drove up to Washington D.C. On par with last year, we went to the always fantastic Fogo de Chao for dinner, very much worth the price. We then walked over to the Verizon Center to watch the Washington Capitals defeat the Buffalo Sabres in a fantastic game. Varly got the shutout with a 2-0 final score, Ovechkin with one goal, Fehr the other -- you can read the NHL recap here. The arena was sold out and the fans were the loudest I'd ever heard...and very into the game. It was excellent.

The Winter quarter starts up tomorrow... I have all of my books and just bought some supplies, so I will hopefully be ready at 10 AM tomorrow.

I've just about packed everything up here in Massachusetts. I'm about to shut off the computer and load it up in the car. I'll be on the road early in the morning... driving 400 miles on I-90 W back to Rochester, where I will unpack and finally get properly settled into my new apartment in Scottsville.

I've got a lot of travel ahead of me, but I'll try and get some posts up here, so check back soon!

Here is some hot sauce from Julio's...

To that end, I felt it was necessary to install a new blogging engine, which means it's time for an entirely new site. Please bear with me as I get things going.
