Remember this funky snow formation, from the storm on Feb 6?



I wondered then how long it would hold that form. (It had already survived most of a day when I took the picture, which is longer than I would have thought.) The answer turned out to be: 12 days. It was there last night when I came home from work, and gone this morning. It did suffer some minor degradation along the way, but only minor -- the form was intact.

Wow.

It was distorted by a really strong gravity wave passing through, and just happened to freeze in that position. Yup, that's it.
