When it comes to snow and wind, it would seem that gravity has little impact on where the snow lands or the shapes it takes.

We have several photos that show this clearly, beginning with a picture from Kelli Frost Allison.
 

It took just a second to figure this out, then we realized that the snow that was showing in the upper right hand side of the photo was suspended in midair. It had blown off the eave of the house and just stayed there!

 

This photo from Adam Charron is quite similar in what it is depicting.


We had to chuckle at this. Though it depicts the same phenomenon of snow defying gravity, the poor little butterfly windchimes look a little chilled in the frigid temperatures!

 

Liddy Coers also grabbed a shot of gravity defying snow on her roof.

 

Perhaps the most impressive of these types of pictures came from Yvonne Beccue. This snow hanging off the eaves of her house has an interesting flourish or waviness to it.
 

 

In addition to defying gravity, we saw photos that the snow took on interesting shapes as the wind whipped it around buildings and other wind breaks.


One of our favorites here is this photo from Kristen Houghton Powers.
 

 

This photo taken by Chris Organ was also interesting.


Danielle Williams also sent in an interesting photo along the same line.

 

This pic from Rachel Harris also is quite interesting. While there is no snow to speak of along the edge of the garage, it appears that there is at least four or five feet of snow on top of the car!


Looks like Ron Volle had a similar situation as it appears there is more snow on his car than there is on the ground.
