The formation of a small dust devil was caught on camera at Cowboy Lee Farm in Raeford, North Carolina, on March 27. Dust devils usually only last for a few minutes, according to the National Weather Service, and while this one was small, some can become several thousand feet high and larger dust devils can develop wind speeds of 60 mph or more. | CBS News

'SNOW DEVIL': Video from the mountains in Troms, Norway, captured a rare snow devil – a phenomenon the World Meteorological Organization says occurs when "surface wind shear acts to generate a vortex over snow cover." https://abcn.ws/2uTka8a | ABC World News Tonight with David Muir

A rare meteorological phenomenon known as a snow devil has been observed in the area Similar to a dust devil, a snow devil is a weaker form of a tornado. It forms when wind shear, or the change of wind direction with height, creates a spinning motion. This spinning motion can lift snow several feet into the air, creating a striking visual display. | WTOV NEWS9
