snow mountains

As I was driving to and from work today, i was impressed by the snow mountains that have been piled up around the edges of shopping center parking lots and along the sides of streets and everywhere else snow can be piled more or less out of the way.  2014 has been very snowy so far!  I saw a few piles that could have been hiding cars or small trucks.  When I drove gratefully into my own driveway I realized I also have some pretty impressive snow mountains.  After seven plowings in January with little or no melting in between and our recent 9 inch February snow fall which has also been plowed off my driveway, I now have a 4+ foot high wall all around the borders of my drive.  That merges with the wall the big snow plows have piled up along the side of my road on both sides of my drive giving me the illusion that I live in a walled estate. Rather impressive I think.
