lee side drifts can be much denser than ordinary snow
in 2015, not that I had to, but as it added a bit of fun to a "situation", I called to the dog (Mr Bhodie) " get off the roof " as thats where he had followed his nose, up the drifts, and onto the roof
another thing with water effect snow drifts, is that there can be very localised snow, AND even when it stops, if the wind is up, blowing snow will fill in cleared areas, as fast as they can
cleared, full on "situation"
I have seen 1 foot an hour, which only means, that it can get worse than that.
I now have a collection of very serious winter gear, but do worry (slightly) about bieng able to
shovle my way in, to get it.
