snow devils are the winter equivalent of a dust devil -- one of those whirlwinds (mini tornado) that you sometimes see in the desert, or even just in parking lots, etc... in winter, you generally see them during very cold weather when the snow is fine and dry. if the winds are strong, you'll often see a group of snow devils blasting along together over flat, open fields. the farm across from us has large, flat fields with no hedgerows, so snow devils are a common sight. some of them get to be quite large and spin the snow upwards for 50 feet or more . actually, they're quite neat to see, but best observed through the living room window rather than from outside on a cold day! <g>
