Giant snowball rolled on University Ave.

[Blue Baboon]

This giant snowball is hilarious. After bar time last night in Madison, this group of people rolled the biggest snowball starting at State St. Walgreens and then down Gilman St. and all the way to University Ave.

Here's a map of State St area to see which way they rolled it. Start at point A (Walgreens) and look to the right to see where Gilman St. is.

Only the most intelligent young people gather at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, our state capitol, to become learned. Their acquired knowledge will help lead us in to a brighter future.
They call it the "snowball affect".
This video is proof positive.
I am sure glad I don't have to vist our capitol during the winter months.

I think a start to finish video capturing the progression would be more instructive.

I see my google map is messed up. Let's try that link again. You'll need to zoom in once or twice.

(See Keith, this is why I need longer editing powers. The original link isn't going to the correct map)

p.s.: Longer editing (to a week, I think) coming soon. Had been awaiting more feedback. Will make that change in the next couple of days if no other thoughts given.
