Michigan Live reports that numerous ice boulders have been found on the shore of Michigan's Sleeping Bear Dunes. Leda Olmsted found the boulders while out walking her dog and posted photographs of them on her Facebook page. Leda talked to The Weather Channel about her unusual find. She says some of the ice boulders were the size of beach balls. She estimates some of the ice balls weighed 70 pounds. Take a look:
