"Mel's Hole" gave me 42,651 porn sites. Man, it's gonna take some time............... btw, those holes of yours look like they've been caused by snails. As you know, most snails hibernate, but when they get caught out moving from one hibernation spot to another (they do this in groups, as you can see), they still have to breath. Unfortunately the poor creatures find this difficult through a layer of snow (block your nose then shove a snowball in your mouth, you'll see what I mean.) So they use extra energy to generate heat and therefore stop the snow settling on them. They then rest until the snow stops to preserve energy. Because (like humans) most of their heat comes out of their heads, a tiny patch is also kept clear just in front of them. When they move away after the snow stops, they move slowly, so this patch is always clear enough for them to be able to keep going. When you dig down to see what's making the holes, the little tunnels get filled with snow from the vibration of your action, and the hole seems to be created from nowhere. True. (",)
