I used to work in a rural area outside of our city. We don’t have much farmland in this part of the boreal forest but we do have some. If the wind picked up after a big accumulation the sections of highway that went through the open farmland would always disappear under a crust of snow. I used to drive a little Honda Civic back then, it was harrowing. A smaller scale problem that I have now exists because of where our house is located in our neighbourhood. We have corner lot with the cross street running in an east/west direction. We can go weeks without a snowfall, but if we get a day of westerlies blowing through, our walk will get covered with knee deep snow that is comparable to packed concrete. I’m not a very pleasant person to be around on those days.
