There was a relatively rare phenomenon that occurred in Akron this past week.  Snow rollers!  If you looked out side you would see what appeared to be hundreds of rolls of toilette paper left in yards and fields.

 But this is what toilette paper actually looks like.  Uncanny resemblance though don't you think?

 They are caused by wind rolling the snow across a field.  It was hard to take pictures of them for you however because every time I stooped to take a picture Sebastian would run up and eat whatever the camera was pointing at.

 But there were fields of them so I could fake him out by making him think I was taking a picture of one and then, turning, taking a picture of another.  These particular ones were in Forest Lodge Park across the street from the parish.
