ams Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 from what my dad saw - looks like the trees caught it, then when the sun came out and dried them, the dust dried and the wind caught it and blew it off the tress onto the surrounding area - we have a lot of big trees which may explain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
