After the 2 days of storm, the surface has been scoured into crazy sastrugi patterns at our field site this afternoon.

Sastrugi city.

I find myself fascinated by the varied patterns the wind makes in the snow. The low sun of near sunset is the best time to see it.
The colours are also beautiful at this time of year, but how could we possibly include these effects in climate models?
