Eden Adams took a closer look at an interesting natural phenomenon along the edge of Green Lake

Watch Lake resident Eden Adams discovered snow drifts that towered over her head at the edge of Green Lake on April 4.

She took advantage of the arrival of warmer weather to explore one of the winter scenes unique to the area before it melted away. The wall of snow was formed along the rocky shore of North Green Lake by the wind blowing in off of the lake.
