I call to the ignorant, spamming shit head's attention hundreds of pictures
of wind carved snow for his total amazement:

and, guess, where "downwind is, in a cyclonic circulation

bingO whould have been your name-O, because
"toward a pole is the correct answer

#526791 — minus, or/and plus

so, what might be the longest anticyclonical period,
at the southern polarity
