Snow devils are uncommon weather events that are associated with a column of rotating air over areas of snow or ice. Snow devils are similar to dust devils, but form over snow.[1] While snow devils are usually short lived and weak, some can last for over five minutes, and can be as tall as 300 feet (91 m) or higher. They typically form when a low wind shear interacts with ground heating from non-permeable surfaces either on or under the snow. When this happens, a vertical vortex of air forms and sucking up loose snow, thus becoming a snow devil.[2] Snow devils form mostly in winter, but can form any time in the year, especially in snowy regions like Siberia or Yukon. Snow devils are common after heavy snows and wind.[3][4]
