Caught a snow devil!

The chase for some extreme weather didn’t take me very far last weekend. In matter of fact, it was a 5 minute walk until I saw a highly unusual phenomena for a place like this. It was a very real snow devil in the middle of Rotterdam and I caught it on camera!
This weekend wasn’t very exciting for us compared to all that snow the rest of Europe got. In other parts of Europe they’re witnessing a winter they haven’t seen up to a decade. In the northern part of the country people are covered in over a meter of snow! The chase for some extreme weather didn’t take me very far last weekend. In matter of fact, it was a 5 minute walk until I saw a highly unusual phenomena for a place like this. It was a very real snow devil in the middle of Rotterdam!
See the picture below what I saw wind is capable of, really spectacularly to watch, I almost forgot I had my camera still in the bag. It might be hard to see what it is but no, it’s not a tornado, not a twister and not a water/snowsprout (which is actually all nearly the same). This is a snow devil! To bad there wasn’t much snow for this thing to pick up so it’s a little low contrasted. Up in the sky you can see some small tree branches sucked up right into the air! Not very dangerous though, the birds don’t even respond to it.
