I have certainly shovelled my share of snow over the years. I also
spent one winter working on a highway crew plowing snow. I have a large
driveway and parking area, but I have a snowblower now. That machine is
a great labour saver.

I have only seen it like that a few times.
I remember one snow storm when I was plowing snow on a night shift.
There was one intersection where there was always a lot of drifting.
There had been enough snow that we had to go out high winging....using
the wing plow in the raised position to push back the drifts. We had
come around the looped on ramp and leveled off the bank about 8 feet
high. The next time we went over that bridge to get the ramp on the
other side we looked down and saw the roof of a car behind that bank.
There was no one in it. I wonder how long it took the guy to find his car.
