    Ohio, a famous state known worldwide as the mother of presidents and the birthplace of aeronautics and aviation. The Buckeye state awoke to a phenomenon, the giant snow rollers, that had never been seen before. It is almost as if nature itself unleashed a mysterious incident to puzzle scientists. In this article, well examine the facts in real time. Meet the snow rollers: Natures frozen sculptures Snow rollers are some of the most fascinating and phenomenal activities of winter. They typically look as round as jelly rolls or doughnuts in diverse sizes. Some can be small while others can be as big as a car tire or ten car tires rolled into one. For a formation to take place, specific winter conditions like powerful waves of winds, freezing temperatures, and specific snow textures must be in alignment to trigger one. Icy layers of snow, weak enough to roll, gather on the ground while fresh, freezing layers move on to it, and strong winds begin to sway the top layer, which makes it gather into a unique-looking circular curl pattern that can only be likened to rolling a carpet. This continues until the wind dies down and all that is left is its signature circular, cylinder-like shape. The Ohio invasion: Dissecting the when and how of this mysterious phenomenon The snow roll of January 2014 is perhaps one of the most unforgettable iconic snow rolling events in American weather history. Ironically, while Ohio residents considered it invasive because it was voluminous and widespread, several meteorologists described it as one of the best events of its kind in the state of Ohio. The snow rolling event of 2014 took place between January 27 and 28. Residents across the Dayton Region, Columbus area, Cincinnati Outskirts, and Northern Ohio woke up to see their fields, highways, and yards covered in hundreds and thousands of ringlets of snow. The incident was widely covered by the top Ohio media houses. The groundwork for a snow roll had actually been in place once freezing rain had fallen, making the snow moist over the course of one night. Strong winds had blown, curling the snow and creating the cylindrical effect that residents woke up to see, just like this Thanksgivings extraordinary cosmic event. And while the 2014 event remains one of the best remembered snow rolling events, the natural phenomenon has repeated itself a couple of times. What made the snow rollers seem like an invasion? Several residents woke up to find thousands of layered, snow rolls littering their yards and fields, as though nature had deliberately carved an elaborate sight and arranged it carefully for a grand visual spectacle. Many of them were less than fascinated, not hesitating to take the collective shockwave to social media with pictorial proof, wondering how their residential areas had become overrun, or blanketed. Seeing the snow rolling covering inches of land, lawns, fields, and even rooftops for miles to come must have been a startling feeling. The jolting part was that many of these snow rolls moved independently, as though nature was crawling around and encroaching on human space. Implications for weather, land, and science fascination Snow rolling is a meteorological event that informs humanity about the intriguing elements of temperatures, winds, and ice. It refines humanistic thinking and perspectives about snow physics, helping us to come close to understanding real phenomena. Before now, snow rollers would have sounded completely mysterious because, while they are unique events in their own right, they are very uncommon. For many years, humanity has held its own assumptions to believe that incidents on Earth are well studied and well documented. Cases like this hit reality on the ground: There are still puzzling mysteries within our planet that need to be covered, just like this Aurora warning across 10 states.
