Snow Donuts are formed when a mass of snow manages to catch on to some other snow, and gravity or the wind is in its favor, then the new snowball will roll itself into a wheel, and the middles tend to collapse to create a donut shape

Also known as "snow bales," "wind snowballs," or "snow donuts," snow rollers are the cold weather equivalent of tumbleweeds.
They form when wind pushes snow across the ground, gathering it into a hollow cylinder.

Looks like a giant Krispy Cream White Chocolate. Hmm.

Wat?

RARE: What are snow rollers and how do they form?

I had to look up a video to see if this is real. The "wind" inexplicably moves one at a time.
Selective wind.

The video makes it look faker than ever.

It's beyond suspicious that this isn't a ancient phenomena.
If this was natural than where are the historical records?

Me thinks that this is probably a local HARP induced phenomena, or some similarly induced local effect.

A moving magnetic torroid field affecting the snow in a smaller region.

Maybe the boundary zone between standing waves? etc.

IDK.

They just added a huge list of man made clouds formations, so they're monkeying with nature all over the world.

Bunch of dinguses.

Edit:. It's interesting, and I'm glad I know these exist. Friggin weird.
