More "Sno-erodynamics" :~)

Hey Guys,

I know we all love these interesting snow-flow pics.

So, here are a couple interesting aerodynamic winter pics for you.

One is of an ice fin that formed at my front fender edge. This is very thin and shows a definate clean flow in that area. Interesting to consider.

The other clearly shows the line of air separation from the rear of my car just in front of the rear window edge. This is the point I will make my Kammback end at.

Matt

As unsafe as it is, I do find it interesting to watch cars that don't get brushed off and how the air flow makes the snow blow off in odd patterns.
