I've got it! *grabs bubble pipe*
January 1st, 2010. There was a strong wind that night, a great way to introduce the new year. But was it good enough for little Timmy Johnson? No sir. Little Timmy had some left over fireworks from earlier that year and he wasn't about to introduce the new year without a bit o' flash and bang, if you get my meaning. Unfortunately, Little Timmy dropped one of his "fire crackers" just as he lit it. The "fire cracker" hit the snow, disappearing into the depths of the cold fluff that surrounded him and extinguishing instantly upon contact, or so he thought. Losing sight of where it landed, he decided to forget about it and light a new one. Little did he know, the fuse upon said dropped "fire cracker" retained a small ember. Later that night, after little Timmy Johnson was long gone, the wind started blowing something fierce, uncovering the snow bit by bit, revealing the tiny explosive. The wind finally started picking up enough that the "fire cracker" got pushed around, bit by bit, rolling into a snowball and leaving the trail you see there. The fuse with the small ember still exposed, all that was needed was a light breeze... which there just happened to be that night. The next thing you know, kaboom! The snowball exploded, sending little snow particle shrapnel in the direction of least resistance, giving you the small effects you see in the snow there towards the end.
Watson! Get in here! I've done it again ol' chap!
I've got a lovely bunch of brownies, there they are, sitting on a tray! bum bum bum, dun... *starts whistling*
Indeed! Heheh, this is a classic distraction used by the little green men. Notice it led away from your house...you felt compelled to follow it so they could infiltrate your home. Sleep tight tonight!:whistler:Quote:

Zephik's scenario is totally unrealistic. Yep. So says me. Here's a MUCH more likely chain of events:
As seen in Up and a Mythbuster's episode, it is entirely possible to suspend oneself from helium-filled balloons. I think little Timmy, rather than lighting firecrackers, got into Mommy and Daddy's painting/wallpapering supplies, and grabbed a plastic roller, about 4" wide. He then suspended himself in a prone position from helium balloons, and rolled that track out on the ground as the wind blew him around. Then a big gust jerked him up suddenly, tightening the cords around his midsection, which caused him to blow and spit onto the ground, creating the fan pattern. But he managed to hang on to the roller as the wind took him away and deposited him elsewhere. That is so totally more realistic. Yep. :P
Actually, I'm pretty sure it was an elephant. I'm like... 90% sure, having seen lots of elephants in my day.
:facepalm: of COURSE...elephants...why didn't I think of that.... definitely more than one. probably it was the ones from Fantasia. one tippy-toed around in ballet shoes and carried the other one, who dragged her trunk across the ground. Yeah.
