With the first flakes of snow starting to make their appearance here on the East Coast, we thought it would be a good idea to show you what can happen when nature’s most joyful art material goes rogue in this admittedly spectacular video that was reportedly shot in China.

The clip begins with a few slabs of snow starting to fall from the rooftop of a building onto the street and the parked cars. However, in a few seconds, all hell breaks loose and hundreds of chunks of snow and ice make their way down to the ground.

Some commentators have questioned the authenticity of the video, but the reaction of the people looking at the phenomenon appears to be genuine. What do you think?
