Snow balls
U.S. Air Force Col. Mark Ruse, 23rd Mission Support Group commander, holds up “snow” made from a snow gun for the annual base tree lighting ceremony at the President George W. Bush Air Park at Moody Field, Moody Air Force Base, Ga., Dec. 2, 2011. Two pits bordered with hay stacks to sit on were filled with two feet of snow made from 80,000 pounds of ice blocks to create a winter atmosphere for attendants at the event.
