Snow plus Wind equals Wow

We finally got some snow! It came in horizontally on a sustained 30 mile per hour wind and it created the most beautiful waves of snow.

In some places the drifts are 4 feet high while in other spots the ground is bare. The trees seem to have something to do with it.

There was a rippling effect as well, and I believe it might be due to wind getting caught in a whirlwind and going round and round the trees eating away at a snowdrift.

I was glad for the drifts as it made paths for me to walk the dogs around the house!
