It looks like what I call ice spews. If the soil is a mix of clay and sand, when it freezes, the water spews up in icicle form if the ground is saturated with water.

You are good WA.  That's exactly what it is but it's not soil.  That one is actually a mound of water soaked saw dust from my shop vac.  There was the exact same thing in the front of my shop where I had shoveled soil just before the cold spell that created this one

I hunted in Georgia one cold morning after a big rainstorm the night before. That is what the entire area looked like. You talk about a noisey walk to the stand.

It happens here around creeks and ditches or anywhere bare ground is damp. We'll have a hard freeze tonight and have had 2 1/2" of rain over the last two days so the pump is primed.
