Snow... tornado?
window.havePowaBoot=true; By Matthew Cappucci February 27 at 1:35 PM Antonio Chiquito was having a relatively normal winter day in Tinian, N.M., on Feb. 17. Temperatures were about 30 degrees, with heavy snow showers, and nothing seemed too out of the ordinary. And then he spotted a tornado — made out of snow. “I had been at church, and then I came home and took the sheep out,” recalled Chiquito, who lives on the eastern end of the Navajo Nation.
And it appears to have formed along some type of weather boundary, likely feeding off the wind shift and taking on some rotation. Indeed, the storm exhibits weak rotation, likely stronger below the radar beam. Radar image reveals rotation at location of snow tornado in Tinian, N.M., on Feb. 17. The National Weather Service in Albuquerque concurs, confirming the funnel as a landspout, which is a tornado that forms from the ground up rather than one that descends from spinning clouds above.
