Re: Postcards For Nick

The pattern of gully distribution does not match the random pattern of meteor strikes.

They are situated in specific places, in bunches, regularly spaced along cliff lines and slopes.

It is possible that for ~1% of gullies that a meteor started the whole thing off a million years ago or so, but most just "grew" in place based on existing irregularities of the ground and patterns of snow accumulation. (CO2 or H2O, depending on your preferred model)
